Brief Background
|
The first issue of História da Historiografia was published in 2008, as the result of an interinstitutional partnership between the Federal University of Ouro Preto (UFOP), Federal University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UNIRIO) and Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Since 2010, the journal has been published by the Brazilian Society for History and Theory of Historiography (SBTHH).
Originally launched as a biannual journal, quarterly publications were initiated in 2012. In 2014, Digital Object Identifier (DOI) numbers were assigned to all its publications and História da Historiografia began relying on executive editors linked to Brazilian and foreign institutions, geared towards inserting the journal internationally. In 2019, the journal was incorporated into the Web of Science Emerging Sources Citation Index. In its first Qualis/Capes assessment, in 2010, História da Historiografia was classified as B2 in History. In the following evaluation, in 2012, it rose to the B1 level. Since 2013, the journal has been classified as A1 in both the CAPES and Scopus evaluation systems. Up to 2019, História da Historiografia accepted the submission of reviews, interviews and historiographical texts and documents. With the launch of the satellite project HH Magazine, these sections were housed in this new space and the journal started to focus exclusively original and review article publication, which now include authors’ ORCID numbers. As a result of this project, podcasts with authors and dossier organizers were also introduced in 2019. In 2023, once again, the History of Historiography changed its periodicity to the continuous publication modality, in accordance with the criteria established by SciELO. Edited exclusively online from the outset, História da Historiografia may be considered a milestone in consolidating the fields of the theory of history and the history of historiography in Brazil, as it mobilized associated researchers to create, promote and maintain a collective space for disciplinary dialog. |
Open Science Compliance
|
This journal offers immediate and free access to its contents, in line with the principle that making scientific knowledge freely available to the public ensures greater worldwide democratization of knowledge.
Authors must submit an Open Science Compliance Form, also available in the ''Submissions'' section |
Ethics in Publication
|
Aiming to ensure an editorial policy committed to ethical publication criteria, which encourage the identification of plagiarism, unfair practices, fraud, possible violations of ethics and initiation of proceedings, we strongly recommend that authors follow the steps below prior to submitting texts to the journal:
After submission on the platform, all articles go through the screening that includes checking the items requested in the ''Submissions'' section. Then, the editor-in-chief verifies that the article is within the scope of the journal and, if it is, the manuscript proceeds to the next stage of the editorial process. This step consists of submitting all articles to the Turnitin similarity check system. From the report generated by the program, the textual content of the manuscript is analyzed, with the intention of identifying whether or not there is any indication of plagiarism in the text. This is an important procedure, as it guarantees the ethics and transparency of the journal with its readers and with the authors themselves. In addition, it is part of our policy to value the suitability of the journal and the excellence of the knowledge disseminated by it. Thus, the Executive Editors, together with the journal's Secretariat, may conduct the following procedures when considered pertinent:
Once the results and any explanations have been received, the Editor-in-Chief, together with the Executive Editors and, if pertinent, the Editorial Board, will decide on the procedures regarding the manuscript. After acceptance and before publication, all articles are submitted to the similarity assessment system Turnitin. It is at this point that the textual content of the manuscript is analyzed, seeking to identify similarities with other previously published articles. |
Focus and Scope
| História da Historiografia strives to offer a space of convergence for increasing production, both in terms of volume and quality, in the field of historiography theory and history – hence the journal’s interinstitutional vocation. After all, it was thanks to a series of encounters over the years in different Brazilian cities that led to the realization that a reflective view of historiography is not as unusual as one may imagine. This reflective endeavor is obviously expressed in myriad ways, either through the philosophy of a more traditional history, or through what is most expected of it, that is, epistemological considerations on the role of historians and the different ways of writing history over the ages, in Brazil and in the West as a whole. The works herein are attempts to recall and elaborate the different motivations that led human beings to think and represent their lives historically. The history of historiography discussed herein goes beyond – though does not exclude – the historiographical debate that is indispensable in specialized discussion and research projects; the discussions will thus seek to exploit the richness of this particular field without isolating it from the wider discussion of which it is part |

Editorial Policy
|
Preprints HH follows a prior publication policy to ensure transparent communication between authors and readers:
We recommend that authors verify that they effectively hold the copyright of the text in the cases described above. |
Peer Review Process
|
Submitted manuscripts that are in accordance with the editorial standards undergo a first evaluation by the Editor-in-Chief, who verifies the adequacy of contributions to the thematic scope of the journal. Once approved in the pre-selection, the contributions are forwarded to referees.
All articles are evaluated by at least two referees, who may be members of the Advisory Board or ad hoc referees. In issuing their opinion, they consider the quality of the treatment of the theme, the clarity of writing and compliance with the journal’s editorial norms. Referees may refuse, suggest changes or approve the publication of the text. In case of divergent opinions, the contribution is forwarded to a third referee.
The entire text submission and evaluation process is performed through the Open Journal System (OJS), which hides the names of both the referees and authors of contributions, in order to preserve double-blind evaluation. Opinions are confidential and, when accepting to issue an opinion, the referee must certify that there is no conflict of interest in relation to the text to be evaluated.
The opinions serve as the basis for the editorial decision, and the Executive Board has the right to publish or reject any submissions. Once opinions are issued via the journal's specific form, authors are notified of the editorial decision, which may be one of four types
a) Accept
In the case of minor changes, authors have 15 days from the editorial decision to make the requested changes. The new version of the text must be written using Word’s change control feature or something similar, and the author must send a letter to the Editor in a separate file explaining how the requested changes were made and, if they were not made, the justification behind this decision. Once authors have submitted the new corrected version, the editor responsible for the evaluation will verify requested changes and decide if the article will be rejected or accepted. Once a manuscript is accepted, it is submitted to standardization procedures, revision and layout adaptations
The História da Historiografia journal adopts three types of peer evaluation:
The standard form of evaluation adopted by the journal is the double-blind peer review. However, in the case of preprint, it is not possible to guarantee author’s anonymity, therefore, the evaluation can be single-blind or open. |
Open Data
|
HH recommends that all research data is public in repositories at the moment of the submission or become public when the article is published. In case the authors decide to maintain research data closed, they will need to justify at the moment of manuscript submission, which will be analyzed by the Editor-in-Chief. HH recommends the use of data repositories of institutions to which one of the authors is affiliated or other reliable data repositories.

Ethics and Misconduct, Correction and Retraction Policy
|
Aiming to ensure an editorial policy committed to ethical publication criteria, which encourage the identification of plagiarism, unfair practices, fraud, possible violations of ethics and initiation of proceedings, we strongly recommend that authors follow the steps below prior to submitting texts to the journal:
Following submission, the Executive Editors, together with the journal's Secretariat, may conduct the following procedures when considered pertinent:
Once the results and any explanations have been received, the Editor-in-Chief, together with the Executive Editors and, if pertinent, the Editorial Board, will decide on the procedures regarding the manuscript. After acceptance and before publication, all articles are submitted to the similarity assessment system Turnitin. It is at this point that the textual content of the manuscript is analyzed, seeking to identify similarities with other previously published articles. |
Policy on Conflict of Interest
|
Authors are obliged to declare any existing conflict of interest. Even if no conflict of interest exists, authors must declare this fact upon submitting an article, in Step 3: Submission Metadata, in the Conflicts of Interest field. Public trust in the peer review process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on how conflicts of interest are managed during writing, peer review and decision making by editors. Conflicts of interest may arise when authors, reviewers or editors have interests that, apparent or not, may influence the drafting or evaluation of manuscripts. The conflict of interest may be of a personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature. Authors are responsible for acknowledging and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced their work upon submitting a manuscript. Authors must acknowledge all financial support for the work and other financial or personal connections with respect to the research in the manuscript. Contributions from individuals mentioned in the acknowledgments for their research assistance must be described, and their consent for publication documented. In order to make an informed decision on a manuscript, the editorial board must be made aware of any competing interests that authors may have. The aim is not to eliminate these interests; they are almost inevitable. Manuscripts will not be rejected simply because there is a conflict of interest, though a statement must be provided detailing any existing conflict of interest. Reviewers shall disclose any conflicts of interest to the editors that might influence their opinions on the manuscript and should declare themselves unqualified to review specific manuscripts if they believe that this procedure is appropriate. As with authors, if reviewers fail to disclose potential conflicts, it may mean that such conflicts exist and have not been disclosed or that the conflicts do not exist. Thus, reviewers are also asked to provide statements of competing interests, which are used to assess the value of peer reports. If there are no conflicts of interest, simply transcribe and add the following note in the field indicated above: There were no conflicts of interest in conducting the present study. Information on author conflicts of interest will be inserted at the end of the published article. Authors unsure of what might constitute a potential conflict of interest should contact the journal's editorial office. |
