Review Procedure

Historical sociology journal publishes expert texts corresponding to its interdisciplinary approach.


The Historical Sociology magazine is a periodical with a demanding independent review process. The review procedure is mutually anonymous and includes two independent assessments. The reviewers are selected by both domestic and foreign experts who are not from the workplace of the author or in conflict with the reviewed text.


The editor confirms that his post has arrived and will post a contribution to the review process (excluding reviews and reports). The editor then provides feedback to the author who adjusts the texts based on reviewers' testimonials.


In case of identical opinion of both reviewers, the text will be accepted for publication, otherwise the text will be rejected. If one opinion is positive and the other is negative, the author will be asked by the editor-in-chief to revise the text, then the editorial board after the discussion will pronounce the final conclusion of the review process. In the event of disagreement with the criticism of the reviewers, the author may, in a letter addressed to the editor-in-chief, refer to the review report.


The decision to accept or not accept the contribution will be sent to the author as soon as possible.


The article is ranked based on the actual number of contributions and length of the review process.
