Alphabetical list of journals in history, available online or in print through the UNK Library. Use the side menu to narrow the scope from all of History and Archaeology. 

Peer reviewed journals, also called scholarly or academic journals, publish original research in a specific field. 

Other scholars (peers) working in similar research areas review the articles before publication. 

How can you tell whether a publication is scholarly or not? Most peer reviewed/scholarly journals share the following traits:

• Author's credentials and institutional affiliation (where they work) listed
• Formal structure, often includings sections such as abstract, literature review, and bibliography
• Citations to other peer-reviewed publications

Examples of peer-reviewed publications:

• Journal of American History
• Journal of Contemporary History

Ask a librarian if you are unsure whether a source is peer-reviewed.
