Write (Digital) History!
Our journal aims to become the central hub of critical debate and discussion in the field of Digital History by offering an innovative publication platform, promoting a new form of data-driven scholarship and of transmedia storytelling in the historical sciences.
- Highlight your Digital Method. Tired of journals asking you to cut down your methodological developments? JDH introduces a hermeneutics layer where you will be able to fully go into detail.
- Show your Data. Gathering data and preparing/structuring your corpus is 90% of the job. Show it, thanks to JDH’s data layer
- Tell the (Hi)story. JDH will allow you to elaborate a narrative layer that goes beyond the traditional scope of academic journals.
- Rigour of a Peer Review Process. But don’t give up on rigour. JDH is based on a double blind peer review process.

The journal is intended to serve as a forum for critical debate and discussion in the field of digital history by offering an innovative publication platform and promoting a new form of data-driven scholarship and of transmedia storytelling in the historical sciences. As an international peer-reviewed open access journal, the JDH will set new standards in history publishing based on a novel multi-layered approach. Each article will include:
- a narration layer involving transmedia storytelling;
- a hermeneutic layer exploring code and the methodological implications of using digital tools and data;
- a data layer providing access to data by means of a professional infrastructure.
The JDH is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. It publishes research on all aspects of digital history. Abstracts must first be submitted via the journal website before full papers can be submitted. The managing editor will contact the author(s) to assess the feasibility of the paper. Once the managing editor has approved the paper, it should be submitted in full. Papers must contain the three layers that are characteristic of the JDH. Each layer is evaluated by means of a double-blind peer-review procedure. If you have any editorial questions, you can contact the managing editor.
