# The American Historical Review (the-american-historical-review)

## Journal positioning

The American Historical Review (AHR) is the flagship journal of the American
Historical Association and a generalist venue for the whole discipline of history,
publishing original research of significance across all fields, periods, and world
regions. Its defining expectation is an argument whose interest reaches **beyond the
specialist subfield** — a contribution that historians of other periods and places
will find consequential — grounded in deep primary research and an explicit
historiographical intervention. A meticulous but narrowly specialist study with no
broader stake is a poor fit, however sound. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection /
re-framing** aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines.
