In preparation of manuscripts for the Czech Historical Review, please respect the following citation rules:

DOI

We request authors to respect the citation rules for digital identifiers. If you refer to a study or publication that has been assigned a digital identifier (DOI), always include this identifier in the brackets at the very end of the first reference to the study or publication. Please, follow this convention throughout the footnotes. E.g.:

Ivo CERMAN, Mýtus o neexistenci českého nevolnictví. Studie o historiografii, ČČH 121, 2023, no. 2, pp. 481–518 (https://doi.org/10.56514/cch.121.02.09).

When citing a website, the following format must be used (the date of page view is given in the brackets):

  1. Peter JUKES, Tony Judt: The Last Interview, Prospect, 21 July 2010, http://www. prospect-magazine.co.uk/magazine/tony-judt-interview/ (20. 12. 2013).

When repeating the reference, simply state:  

  1. J. PEKAŘ, Bílá hora, p. 50.

When citing archival material, the general principle is that the name and location of the institution (archive) should be given first, followed by the name of the fond and a more detailed identification of the source.

Abbreviations and designation

The abbreviation for the page or pages is p., the volumes of journals and proceedings are indicated by Arabic numerals, the volumes of multi-volume treatments and editions by Roman numerals. If documents in editions are numbered, this number (abbreviated as no.) should be given alongside the pages. E.g.: CDB II, p. 328, no. 324.

When citing for the first time, give the full name of the journal, archive or fond and the official abbreviation in the brackets in case of repeated citation. E.g.: Josef ŽEMLIČKA, Kníže a král v souřadnicích přemyslovského věku, Český časopis histrorický (ČČH) 114, 2016, no. 1, pp. 7–31.

Use as little as possible abbreviations in the main text. The method of citation and abbreviation must be unified throughout the whole manuscript. 

Please observe the distinction between the hyphen (e.g., Austro-Prussian War; Garmisch-Partenkirchen; Marie Curie-Skłodowska), located on the keyboard, and the en dash (e.g., pp. 1–2; 1848–1849; Prague – Bratislava 1992 /place and date of publication/), which is created using the keyboard shortcut Alt+0150.

Thank you for observing to all of the above mentioned rules. The Editorial Office reserve the right to reject a manuscript if it does not meet the given instructions and citation rules. We will do our best to ensure that your manuscript appears in the Czech Historical Review as soon as possible after a positive peer review process.
