Histria, the Istrian Historical Society Review is published annually in one volume. The journal publishes scholarly articles, surveys of the field, review articles and book reviews with topics in history and related disciplines. Articles can be on any time period as long as their topic is related in some manner to the history of Istria. Histria publishes articles in Croatian, Italian, Slovenian and English. The Editorial Board will accept for publication scholarly and professional contributions categorized according to prescribed and customary norms (original scientific article, preliminary communication, review, professional paper) as determined by double blind peer review. The authors guarantee that their submission has not been accepted for publication or published elsewhere. The authors also give consent for their submission to Histria to be made available electronically on “Hrčak,” the Croatian online scientific journal database, as well as on the web site of the Istrian Historical Society.
The manuscript should be submitted in electronic format to the email address of the Editorial Board (histria@ipd-ssi.hr). The paper may be longer than 16 pages (1 page equals 1800 characters with spaces), but should not, except under extraordinary circumstances, exceed 32 pages in length. The nominal length of a book, journal or conference review is between 3 and 8 pages.
The manuscript should be submitted in MS Word compatible format (Times New Roman, font size 12, 1.5 line spacing). Title and subtitle must not be written in capital letters. Words and phrases that the author wishes to emphasize should be written in italics (not in bold). The scholarly apparatus (footnotes) should use the following format: Times New Roman, font size 10, single spacing). The Editorial Board reserves the right to proofread the text. The manuscript may be returned to authors for corrections and improvements if requested by reviewers and are always returned to authors for authorization in case of editorial changes and/or proofreading. Histria uses double blind peer review (the author is not privy to the identity of the reviewer and vice versa) and the reviewers are distinguished scholars in their respective fields.
The mandatory parts of the manuscript are the following: title, abstract, keywords, main text and summary. The manuscript may contain a list of illustrations and, in exceptional circumstances (in case of lengthier articles) also a list of abbreviations, as well as a bibliography of primary and secondary sources. The authors are kindly requested to see to the translation of the summary in other languages. If this is not possible, the Editorial Board will see to the translations. The authors are also kindly requested to translate keywords, especially when highly specialized terminology is used.
Appendices (illustrations, tables, graphs, and so on) should be submitted in black and white in one of the customary computer formats. When using appendices from other sources (printed or archival), it is the task of the author to secure the necessary permits for their use and he/she bears all responsibility for any unauthorized use.
The author should include his/her academic title, name and address of the institution he/she is affiliated with (or a private address with ZIP code) and a personal email address. The author of an article is entitled to two hard copies of the journal, and the author of a book review is entitled to one. All authors also receive a copy of their submission in PDF format. Submissions for next year’s issue are received until November 1 of the current year.
The TITLE of the manuscript should be located on the top of the first page in regular letters with no editorial interventions.
