Academic journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historical Social Research is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering political science, social science, cultural studies, and history. It is the official journal of the QUANTUM association and is published by GESIS – Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences. The journal was established in 1976 as QUANTUM Information and was renamed Historical Social Research/Historische Sozialforschung in 1979, with the inclusion of both English and German titles representing the original bilingual nature of the journal.[1] Due to the internationalization of the journal over the past few decades, its title was shortened in 2021 to the current one. The editors-in-chief are Wilhelm Heinz Schröder and Heinrich Best.
