> publication of these excellent titles under their stewardship, and we

> About the journals
> The Journal of Medieval History, published quarterly, aims at meeting
> the need for a major international publication devoted to all aspects
> of the history of Europe in the Middle Ages. Each issue comprises
> around four or five articles on European history, including Britain and
> Ireland, between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance. The Journal also
> includes review articles, historiographical essays and 'state of
> research' studies.
>
> The History of European Ideas is a quarterly journal devoted to the
> intellectual history of Europe from the Renaissance onwards. It is
> interdisciplinary in that it aims to publish papers on the history of
> ideas in a number of different fields: political and economic thought,
> philosophy, natural philosophy and science, theology and literature.
>
> The History of the Family: An International Quarterly makes a
> significant contribution by publishing works reflecting new
> developments in scholarship and by charting new directions in the
> historical study of the family. While firmly rooted in history, the
> Journal is interdisciplinary; it publishes articles on historical
> anthropology, historical sociology, economic history and psychology as
> they relate to the family and the life course. The History of the
> Family, published quarterly, was recently accepted by Thomson Reuters
> into the Journal Citation Reports and received a 2010 impact factor of
> 0.595, ranking it 8 out of 26 journals in the History of the Social
> Sciences category and 29 out of 39 in the Family Studies category.
>
> Each of these journals is internationally recognized, peer reviewed and
> supported by an international editorial board.
