Historical Methods reaches an international audience of historians and other social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. Articles published in Historical Methods are often intended to describe a new data infrastructure project, offer insights on a new source of historical data to guide others in the use of the same data, or discuss ways to operationalize data or to implement new methodological approaches that others may emulate with similar data. In addition to its longtime interest in quantitative approaches to historical questions, Historical Methods also encourages submission of articles which address topics in the digital humanities and the rhetoric of social scientific history. - publisher description.
