*History

Alphabetical list of journals in history, available online or in print through the UNK Library.

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.
