About the Journal
The journal Zgodovina za vse (History for Everyone) focuses on historical anthropology and deals with the history of everyday life and history from below, or the history of ordinary people. A special feature of the magazine is its return to storytelling.
It is divided into three sections. The first contains stories written by life and articles that correspond to the magazine's program orientation. The criteria for contributions are a scientific approach with a rich critical apparatus and a high standard of writing style (written in the form of a narrative, i.e., a story that avoids boring narration). The second part contains contributions from the field of historical theory and polemics, while the third part contains reviews of books dealing with similar topics.
The most distinctive feature of the journal is undoubtedly its return to narrative. The articles are distinguished by their rich narrative or description (i.e., deep or in-depth description). This belongs to the so-called modern narrative, which historians, influenced by the discoveries of anthropology, contrast with the classical narrative or "thin description." Thorough and accurate studies of various phenomena from Slovenian history are presented in complex articles which, depending on the methodology and writing techniques used, fall within the field of microhistory or micro-narrative, the history of everyday life, the history of mentalities, and the history of civilisations, customs and traditions.
In terms of its paradigmatic orientation, the journal can be classified among contemporary historical publications in Europe. The articles are supplemented with longer German summaries and shorter Slovenian and English synopses.
Zgodovine za vse has been well received not only by historians, students of history, and other humanities scholars, but has also met with a great response from the general public.
Peer Review Process
All articles in the journal Zgodovina za vse / History for Everyone are double-blind peer reviewed, which ensures the anonymity of the author and reviewer. Reviewers are appointed from among experts in the field covered by the article.
In the first phase, the editor-in-chief reviews the submitted article and, if it is suitable for the journal, appoints two reviewers.
The editorial board obtains two reviews, and reviewers must inform the editors of any conflict of interest that could prevent them from being impartial. The reviewers evaluate the article using the review form in the OJS system. In it, they state their decision on the final evaluation of the article, their findings, and comments for the author and editor-in-chief.
There are four possible decisions:
- the contribution is accepted for publication without corrections
- minor corrections are required in the contribution: the author must correct the contribution according to the reviewers' comments and upload it to the Open Journal System; the decision is made by the editor-in-chief
- the article requires major corrections: the author must thoroughly revise the article in accordance with the reviewers' comments and upload it to the Open Journal System; at the editor's discretion, the revised article is reviewed again by the same reviewers
- the article is rejected.
In the event of a negative review report, the article cannot be published in the journal Zgodovina za vse / History for Everyone. Based on the positive opinion of the reviewers, the editor-in-chief informs the author about the classification of the contribution for publication (together with the section in which the contribution will be published).
Before publication, authors receive proofreading corrections for approval. The author is responsible for all changes to the text that are not merely typographical corrections and design changes, so it is recommended that authors carefully read the entire text before final submission.
