The Journal of Contemporary History is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering the study of history in all parts of the world since the end of the First World War. It was established in 1966 by Walter Laqueur and George L. Mosse and is now published quarterly by Sage Publications and edited by Richard J. Evans (University of Cambridge) and Stanley Payne (University of Wisconsin–Madison).
The journal publishes scholarly articles, review articles and book reviews, covering a broad range of historical approaches including social, economic, political, diplomatic, intellectual and cultural, on every country and region of the world within living memory, from 1918 to the present day.
Each issue is approximately 216 pages and comprises 8 or 9 research articles, 1 or 2 review articles and up to 40 book reviews. The Journal normally publishes at least 1 special issue per volume, either arising from a supported conference or from an externally submitted proposal. Each volume runs through one calendar year. Issues are published in January, April, July and October.
Since 2008 JCH has included reviews of individual books, in addition to review articles covering a range of books within the compass of a single critical essay. Kristina Spohr, of the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Jim Bjork, of King's College London are Joint Review Editors.
The Journal was founded in 1966 by Walter Laqueur and George L. Mosse. The Journal's editorial office (until 2005) was at the Institute of Contemporary History and Wiener Library, Devonshire Street, London, at which Laqueur was Director from 1965 to 1994. Originally published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson it was purchased by Sage Publications in 1972 and continues to be published by SAGE.
