Journal

Edited by the Economic and Social History Society of Ireland, Irish Economic and Social History has been published annually since 1974 and has given a marked impetus to professional publication in the field. Published by SAGE since 2015, the journal focuses on all aspects of Irish economic and social history from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The journal comprises articles and shorter notes; a document and sources article; abstracts of recent postgraduate theses; and a bibliography of writings on Irish economic and social history appearing in the previous year.

The journal uses double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not reveal their identity.

Irish Economic and Social History is included in the American Economic Association's EconLit database of the most sought-after economics publications. The journal is also included in the Academic Journal Guide of the Chartered Association of Business Schools.
