Mestiere di Storico. Rivista della Società per lo Studio della Storia Contemporanea. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Il Mestiere di Storico is the biannual journal of the Italian Society for the Study of Modern and Contemporary History (www.sissco.it); it is mailed directly to its approx. 700 members. The journal fosters a dialogue between Italian and international scholarship and informs on Italian and international historical literature. Each issue contains between 150 and 170 short book reviews and a certain number of in-depth feature reviews covering between 10 and 20 recently published books. It also publishes, in the first issue of the year, reviews of museums, exhibits, films, serials and novels of historical subject, and, in the second issue, a survey of the periodical literature. The Journal covers all areas of Italian and world history.

Starting with the 2011 we intend to publish 1 or 2 peer reviewed articles per issue.

Il Mestiere di Storico invites submissions of general interpretive and historiographical articles. Articles should not exceed 10.000-12.000 words, footnotes included. Articles can be submitted in Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish. The articles are published in the original language if they are written in Italian, English, French and Spanish. Il Mestiere di Storico will consider only original articles, which have not been published elsewhere and differ substantially from other published work. Proposals must include a 300 word abstract and a cv of the author.

All articles submitted to Mestiere di Storico undergo a preliminary editorial screening and reviewing by two external anonymous referees.

Il Mestiere di Storico is available at the URL http://www.sissco.it/index.php?id=1503 and in full text at EIO (Editoria italiana online); it is also covered by the following abstracting/indexing services:Aida/Articoli italiani di periodici accademici; Bibliografia storica nazionale.
