The Journal
Historical Social Research (HSR) is an international bilingual journal for the application of formal methods in history. It has been published since 1976.
The application of formal methods to history covers quantitative and computer-assisted qualitative social research, historical sociology and social scientific history, cliometrical research and historical informational science. In a broader sense, the field of Historical Social Research can be described as an inter-/ transdiciplinary paradigm.
The HSR is user-, methods- and data orientated. The journal focuses on inter- and transdisciplinary research. An international editorial board is in charge of the content and thanks to close cooperations with network partners and user organizations within the field of historical social research, the journal participates intensively in current research discussions.
Four HSR-issues plus one supplement are published every year. With that, the HSR publishes up to 100 articles of international authors in a year.
Among others, more than 150 libraries worldwide are subscribers of the HSR. In 2011 the HSR has been classified by ERIH / European Science Foundation as an international top-journal (INT1 Sub-Category) “with high visibility and influence among researchers in the various research domains in different countries, regularly cited all over the world.”
