‘Prace Historyczne‘ [‘History Notebooks‘] is a quarterly scientific journal published by the Jagiellonian Universitiy’s Institute of History. Its first issue was released in 1955. Initially it was published irregularly. Later when edited by Professor Krzysztof Baczkowski, it was first transformed into a yearly and then into a quarterly. Since 2009 the journal has been a serial publication available on-line. Under the name of ‘Prace Historyczne’ the following thematic series were released: ‘Studia Austro-Polonica’, ‘Studia Polono-Danubiana et Balcanica’, ‘Studia Gallo-Polonica’, ‘Studia Germano-Polonica’ and ‘Studia Italo-Polonica’. The journal invites researchers of all historical periods, from Ancient to contemporary times, and of all specialisms (political, social and economic history as well as history of science and culture) to submit their manuscripts. Papers are published in Polish as well as in English, German and French. Among them you can find research papers, sources, polemics, reviews and reports of the most interesting conferences/scientific events. All papers published in the quarterly are subject to the double-blind peer review procedure. Researchers from countries like Austria, the Czech Republic, Germany, Romania, Slovakia, Italy and the USA have recently published their papers in Prace Historyczne. Open access to all articles that have appeared in our journal is ensured.
