Journal of British Studies
The Journal of British Studies is actively seeking articles on medieval history. The editor is particularly interested in articles on medieval social history, or which explore relations between religion and society. Articles that consider Britain rather than exclusively England are encouraged, and articles are welcomed that, though firmly rooted in the history of Britain, are of a comparative nature.
The is the premier journal devoted to the study of British history and culture. Beginning with the January 2005 issue (44:1) the Journal of British Studies expanded as it merged with the NACBS's member publication, Albion. The Journal focuses on history and cultural history but draws upon all disciplines. The Journal employs a blind reviewing process: all obvious references by which the referees could identify the author must be removed by the author prior to submission.
Manuscripts should be submitted to the editor, Anna Clark. Send submissions either as an electronic file (by e-mail) or as two legible copies and a diskette or CD (by mail). Electronic files should be sent to journal.british.studies@umn.edu; files should be IBM compatible (either Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect 6.0 or higher files). Mail should be directed to Anna Clark, Editor, JBS, 614 Social Sciences Bldg., Dept. of History, University of Minnesota, 267 19th Ave. S, Minneapolis, MN 55455-0406.
All manuscripts should be prepared according to the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition. Further guidelines for submissions may be obtained on request from the assistant editor at journal.british.studies@umn.edu or online at http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/JBS/instruct.html.

Early Modern Culture: An Electronic Seminar
Publisher: Early Modern Culture
Early Modern Culture attempts to create an on-line space for something like the active and on-going inquiry of a good seminar. Hence, what you will find at this site are four works-in-progress by major scholars in early modern studies, along with a set of responses from readers – some junior, some senior – working on similar topics.
With this format, the desire is to open a conversation and make explicit how much all work depends upon such opportunities for careful reading, as well as critical (in the best sense of that word) exchange. It is hoped you will find all of this work fresh and stimulating; certainly, the editors are delighted with the labor and generosity of the contributors.

Journal of the Holy Roman Empire
Publisher: Society for the Study of the Holy Roman Empire
The Journal of the Holy Roman Empire is a peer-reviewed e-journal that offers original research on the history and culture of the Empire. We welcome contributions from all avenues of historical inquiry, including but certainly not limited to political, religious, gender, social, economic, and military history.
The goal of JHRE is to foster scholarship on historical issues that cross the boundaries of the modern nation-state and of historiographical periodization. We encourage submissions with either a local or Empire-wide focus, but we especially hope to provide a forum for research that concerns more than one modern state or that considers Empire-wide institutions, culture, or history.
The Journal of the Holy Roman Empire is a biannual publication, issued under the auspices of the Society for the Study of the Holy Roman Empire.
Articles should be written in English. In the future we may consider a limited number of articles in French or German.

Hortulus: The Online Graduate Journal of Medieval Studies
Publisher: Hortulus
Hortulus is a refereed journal devoted to the literatures and cultures of the medieval world. Electronically published once a year, its mission is to present a forum in which graduate students from around the globe may share their ideas.

Articles should address the current theme listed on the Call for Papers page.
The journal also incorporates lighter fare such as interviews, opinion pieces, reviews and essays on diverse aspects of medievalia under the aegis of a section entitled Hortus Amoenus. We are particularly interested in reviews of historical novels and medieval-themed films, as well as reports on archaeological digs and museum exhibitions, but we are happy to receive any and all contributions relevant to medieval studies.
Potential Hortus Amoenus authors should contact hortusamoenus@hortulus.net with a 250-word summary of their contribution before submitting a complete article.

Journal of Late Antiquity
https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/journal_of_late_antiquity/
The website for the Journal of Late Antiquity at the Johns Hopkins University Press now is ready to be accessed, with such things as subscription forms and library recommendation forms.
The journal provides a venue for multi-disciplinary coverage of all the methodological, geographical and chronological facets of Late Antiquity, going from AD 250 to 750, ranging from Arabia to the British Isles and running the gamut from literary and historical studies to the study of material culture. One of the primary goals of the journal is to highlight the status of Late Antiquity as a discrete historical period in its own right.
New, previously unpublished scholarship is solicited for the journal. Submissions may be up to 8,000 words in length, but much briefer notes will also be considered.
For further information, consult Ralph Mathisen at ralphwm@uiuc.edu.

Marginalia
http://www.marginalia.co.uk/journal/
Marginalia, the Journal of the Medieval Reading Group at the University of Cambridge.
Publisher: Medieval Reading Group at the University of Cambridge
Unless the Marginalia call for submissions stipulates a particular theme for the forthcoming volume, we will be happy to consider articles on any aspect of the Middle Ages in England. For the purposes of clarification, we consider the Middle Ages to encompass the years between 500 and 1500 AD, but will consider material that falls slightly outside these parameters if we feel it is particularly relevant to the study of medieval England.
We will not consider editions or translations of text unless they are submitted as part of the relevant material for an article, nor will we publish any material that has been published previously (although we are happy to consider articles that have been presented as papers in conferences or seminars).
Email: submissions@marginalia.co.uk
Marginalia is available free of charge as an Open Access journal on the Internet.
