Submission Instructions

​

Thank you for your interest in submitting to the OUHS Journal!

 

We accept submissions on all historical periods and topics. Submissions from other academic fields (classics, art history, area studies, etc.) are also welcome, but the topic must be primarily historical in nature. Book/film/podcast reviews, interviews of historians, and other relevant non-academic article pieces are also welcome. We accept both undergraduate and postgraduate papers.

​

Please note: we will no longer be publishing issues for each academic term. Instead, we will be publishing an annual issue at the end of Trinity term. 

​

We are now accepting submissions for our 2022/2023 issue! The deadline to submit is noon (GBT) on March 15th, 2023. 

​

Decisions will be made by the end of March 2023.

 

To submit, please email ouhs.journal@gmail.com with your paper attached as a Microsoft Word file. All accepted papers will be part of our two-stage editorial process, designed to make your paper the best it can be.
