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.

Preferred citation:
Last name, First Name. "Article Title." Historically Modern [volume number] issue number (year published). URL.
Example:
