"While all these articles examine women’s agency in World War II, what may be more significant is that these articles not only draw attention to understudied topics, but offer ideas for potential future research. This is a particular strength of the special issue, taken as a whole. Individually, these pieces each offer foundational information that may be useful to scholars at various levels of research, from undergraduate to graduate, but they are most promising in their ability to suggest which stories have yet to emerge. [...] What is most significant and successful in this issue is that the authors consistently offer readers ideas for future research and possibilities for continuing to understand the war in new ways through women’s history." - Tanya L. Roth, in: H-Diplo, Article Review 944 (15 April 2020)
The IJMH Early-Career Paper
The International Journal of Military History and Historiography invites submissions for its IJMH Early-Career Paper Prize.
The International Journal of Military History and Historiography (IJMH) has been continuously published (from 1978 to 2015 as the International Bibliography of Military History – IBMH), on behalf of the International Commission of Military History (ICMH), which can trace back its origins to 1938. The journal offers its readers and authors a platform that includes original research articles on any military historical topic from antiquity to the contemporary period that can appeal to an international readership.
The prize will be awarded to an academic article of outstanding quality in the field of international military history written by a graduate student or an early-career scholar, which will have been published in the IJMH in 2024, either in print or as an advance article online. The author of the winning article will be officially announced in the journal and on the journal’s website, and receive a €1,000 cash prize.
In line with IJMH’s general guidelines, submissions should be an original contribution to the field of military history that is of interest to an international readership, e.g., a topic involving more than one nation and, preferably, based on multi-archival research. There is no chronological limitation. IJMH publishes articles ranging from antiquity to the contemporary period, provided that the subject is historical and the methodology fulfils academic standards.
