Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a peer-reviewed source?
No, this is not a peer-reviewed source. This is a volunteer journal. While articles are written by scholars, they do not undergo a peer-review process and therefore cannot be used as academic secondary sources.
How do I cite an article from Historically Modern?
Preferred citation:
Last name, First Name. "Article Title." Historically Modern [volume number] (year published). URL.
Example:
Perry, Sarah. "Monster, Villain, Victim: The Villainization and Misappropriation of Marginalized Communities in the Gothic and Horror Genres." Historically Modern 1 (2024). https://www.historicallymodern.ca/post/monster-villain-victim
