Author Guidelines

Please ensure that you fulfil the following submission requirements and meet both our author guidelines and formatting guidelines before you submit your work. These apply to article submissions, book reviews, source analyses as well as to academic commentaries.

General information

Any submissions sent to the Berlin Historical Review for consideration have to be the​ original work​​ of the author. 

We do not consider submissions that have previously been published elsewhere, as a  whole​​​​​​ or in part, or that are about to be published soon. The same applies to submissions which are currently under review by another journal or publisher. We​ therefore ask authors not​ to multi-submit. ​When submitting, authors agree not to submit a manuscript for electronic or print publication in another journal or to publish it elsewhere until the Berlin Historical Review decides to accept or reject it, or until the Author withdraws this submission.​​

Authors are required to secure any necessary permissions for the reproduction of ​​copyright​​​​​​​​​ material​​, such as illustrations, prior to submitting their work. Authors alone are responsible for the contents of their articles and for obtaining permission for use of material under copyright protection.  ​​​​​​​​
​​​​
​​​​​Please provide high definition images if you wish to include any illustrations.  ​​
​​​​
Articles should be written in English. However, we also consider articles in other languages. Prospective authors must in that case contact the editorial board in advance.
