About the Journal

The Revista Portuguesa de História (RPH) is published annually and its articles are subjected to a preliminary assessment by an arbitration committee. The journal was founded in 1941 at the António de Vasconcelos Institute, which was renamed Institute for Economic and Social History in 1975. Ever since its first issue, this journal has dedicated itself to publishing studies by Portuguese and foreign researchers in the field of History, from Antiquity to the Contemporary Age. The RPH is committed to disseminating the results of historical research in the fields of Portuguese and World History by publishing articles, critical reviews, and news.

All articles accepted by the Editorial Board will be subjected to an anonymous scientific refereeing by two external reviewers. If necessary, a third reviewer will be consulted. The Editorial Board may ask authors to follow the suggestions laid out in the reviewers’ reports and, in extreme cases, may refuse to publish the texts.
