Historical
Inquiry is a biannual
publication, with issues published
in June and December, but welcomes
new submissions anytime during the
year. As a rule, authors should submit
one article at a time. Submissions
that have gone through an initial
evaluation process by the editorial
board will be sent to two or more
scholars in relevant fields for peer
review. A final decision based on
the reviewers’ reports will be made
by the editorial board. We employ
the double-blind peer review process
and authors are requested not to
reveal their identities in the text.
Authors will be notified of the results
at the earliest possible moment.
The rejected manuscripts will not
be returned.

be either in Chinese or English. Research
articles in Chinese should be between
10,000 and 30,000 characters in length.

essays should not exceed 10,000 characters.
Research articles in English should
be between 15 and 40 double-spaced
