journal-of-social-history

separate

Use when targeting the Journal of Social History or deciding whether a social-history manuscript on everyday life, class, gender, family, work, crime, or marginalized groups fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, its methodologically self-conscious social-history bar, primary-source and historiographical expectations, Chicago house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

When to use

• fit/framing check for social-history manuscripts
• making method of reading sources explicit
• choosing between Journal of Social History and other venues
• checking methodologically self-conscious social-history bar
• applying desk-reject heuristics
• assessing topic fit for class, gender, family, work, crime, or marginalized groups

When not to use

• replacing the journal's current submission guidelines
• studies of high politics, formal institutions, or canonical ideas with no attention to lived social experience
• descriptive recovery with no argument or method
