About this journal
Aims and scope
Histories of People & Placeis a new peer-reviewed journal for high-quality academic papers that address the history of regions and localities in all periods and across the globe.
Regional and local history are broadly defined, encouraging the examination of both urban and rural contexts, and regions and localities as administrative, cultural, or geographic entities. Definitions of scale will vary according to time, location, context, and theme. Regional histories may transcend both local and national boundaries, and might offer a means of interrogating how these changed through time. Such histories might broaden understandings arrived at through a national focus or help to develop agendas for future exploration.
The subject matter of regional and local histories invites a number of methodological approaches including oral history, comparative history, cultural history, and history from below. Histories of People & Place welcomes contributions situated in these methodological frameworks as well as interdisciplinary work that seeks to understand the history of regions or localities through the methodologies of geography, sociology or cultural studies, together with those that draw heavily upon material, pictorial, aural, cartographic, and literary sources.
Histories of People & Place est une nouvelle revue inter-évaluée, qui publie des articles de haute qualité abordant l’histoire des régions et des localités à toutes les époques et aux quatre coins du monde.
L’histoire régionale et locale est définie au sens large, pour encourager des manuscrits sur les milieux urbains et ruraux aussi bien que sur les régions et les localités comme entités administratives, culturelles, ou géographiques. La définition de l’échelle varie en fonction de la période temporelle, le contexte géographique, et le thème historique. Des histoires régionales pourraient dépasser les frontières locales et nationales, ou pourraient interroger leur évolution au cours du temps. De telles études pourraient élargir nos conceptions gagnées des recherches qui s’axent sur les contextes nationaux, ou pourraient contribuer au développement des programmes de recherche à venir.
Les thèmes de l’histoire régionale et locale invitent plusieurs approches méthodologiques, y compris, sans s'y limiter, à l’histoire orale, l’histoire comparative, l’histoire culturelle, et l'histoire d’approche ascendante. Histories of People & Place apprécie les contributions qui emploient les méthodologies ci-dessous ainsi que les recherches interdisciplinaires qui cherchent à comprendre l’histoire des régions et des localités à travers des méthodologies prises de la géographie, de la sociologie, ou des études culturelles. Par ailleurs, les contributions qui s'appuient sur des sources matérielles, picturales, sonores, cartographiques et littéraires sont aussi invitées.
Mit Histories of People & Place gibt es nun eine neue Zeitschrift, die Lokal- und Regionalgeschichte in globalen Zusammenhängen zum Thema hat, über räumliche und Periodengrenzen hinweg. Die Zeitschrift ist peer-reviewed und akzeptiert nur Beiträge von höchster wissenschaftlicher Qualität.
Wir haben eine umfassendes Verständnis von Lokal- und Regionalgeschichte und begrüßen die Erforschung von sowohl städtischen als auch ländlichen Kontexten. Regionen und Orte können ebenso administrativ definiert werden wie beispielsweise kulturell oder geografisch, Die Parameter dieser Raumdefinitionen sind abhängig von Zeit, Ort und Kontext. Regionalgeschichte durchkreuzt lokale ebenso wie nationale Grenzen und hinterfragt diese zugleich. Somit erweitert die Lokalgeschichte unser vielfach national geprägtes Selbstverständnis und setzt Maßstäbe für eine zukünftige Raumgeschichte.
Lokal- und Regionalgeschichte steht den verschiedensten Methoden offen wie beispielsweise Oral History, , kultureller und Alltagsgeschichte, vergleichender und transnationaler Geschichtsschreibung. Histories of People & Place freut sich auf Beiträge aus diesen Feldern. Ebenso willkommen sind interdisziplinäre Beiträge, die die Geschichte von Orten und Regionen mit soziologischen, geographischen, kulturgeschichtlichen oder anderen Methoden erforschen, oder die sich vornehmlich auf physische, kartographische, bildliche, literarische und Audioquellen stützen.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
