Historical Contributions are included in the list of journals that are equal in quality to journals with internationally recognized peer review (category A 1). The journal is published by the Croatian Institute of History, Opatička 10, 10 000 Zagreb, where the editorial office is located. The scientific journal Historical Contributions receives support from the Ministry of Science and Education of the Republic of Croatia. From 1982 to 2000, the journal was published once a year, and since 2001 it has been published twice a year. The journal is published in Croatian, and occasionally articles by domestic or foreign authors in foreign languages are also published. Historical Contributions is a scientific journal that publishes the results of research in the field of historical science and auxiliary historical disciplines from antiquity to the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The journal publishes the results of scientific projects of the Croatian Institute of History and articles of scientific content by other authors from Croatia and abroad. The following categories of articles are published in Historical Contributions: original scientific papers, preliminary communications, review articles, presentations at scientific conferences, and professional articles.

The editorial board reserves the right to editorially adjust the manuscript according to the journal’s guidelines and make any necessary editorial changes. Additionally, papers submitted in Croatian will be edited in accordance with the standards of the standard Croatian language.
The journal applies the principle of double-blind review, which implies anonymity of the author’s identity towards the reviewers and vice versa, throughout the entire review process. Therefore, authors are asked to remove all information about authorship and affiliation, as well as information in the notes that may indicate the author’s identity, before submitting. The journal accepts scientific articles of up to 15,000 words, including notes, tables, graphics and other attachments. If the article exceeds this length, authors are asked to contact the editorial office.

Scrinia Slavonica
The journal of the Branch for the History of Slavonia, Srijem and Baranja of the Croatian Institute of History, Scrinia Slavonica, is published once a year and publishes works dedicated to the history of Slavonia (in the modern geographical meaning of the term), Srijem and the Croatian part of Baranja. The journal seeks to constitute regional Slavonian history as a possible framework for systematic historiographical research. It is equally open to the publication of fundamental research studies, as well as synthetic or overview works and smaller units of relevant historical material. In addition, a certain space in the journal is also dedicated to works of broader theoretical and methodological topics, especially when they are relevant and applicable in specific regional research. Finally, through translations of articles and book reviews, an attempt is made to establish continuous monitoring of historiographical trends and interesting novelties in the countries in the immediate vicinity of the Slavonian region, Hungary, Serbia (Vojvodina) and Bosnia and Herzegovina, because these areas have been continuously encompassed by various sets of mutual connections and correlations over the past centuries, so the interests and results of their modern historiographies overlap to a significant extent (which does not mean that they coincide), making communication and mutual knowledge necessary, and cooperation and argumentative dialogue desirable.
Papers published in the journal Scrinia Slavonica are referenced and available in the following databases:
Historical Abstracts and Historical Abstracts with Full Text; European Reference Index for the Humanities and the Social Sciences; Central and Eastern European Online Library; Portal of Croatian scientific journals HRČAK.
