Write (Digital) History.

As an international, academic, peer-reviewed and open-access journal, the Journal of Digital History (JDH) will set new standards in history publishing based on the principle of multi-layered articles.

Our journal aims to become the central hub of critical debate and discussion in the field of Digital History by offering an innovative publication platform, promoting a new form of data-driven scholarship and of transmedia storytelling in the historical sciences.


Highlight your Digital Method

Tired of journals asking you to cut down your methodological developments? JDH introduces a hermeneutics layer where you will be able to fully go into detail.

Show your Data

There’s no history without primary sources. Turning them into a dataset is a hallmark of digital history today. Expose your dataset and – if possible – make it reusable for other researchers thanks to JDH’s data layer.

Narrate (Hi)story

JDH allows you to elaborate a (multi-media) narrative layer that goes beyond the traditional scope of academic journals.

Don't give up on rigour

JDH is based on a single-blind peer review process.
