The Adelphi History Department Journal is an electronic journal that is published annually. The journal publishes articles and reviews written by undergraduates and submitted by their professors to the editors of the journal. We welcome submissions of papers related to history from departments outside of history but within the Adelphi community.
All papers must be submitted via electronic mail with an accompanying abstract, which would be made available both to those within and outside Adelphi University.
Each volume will appear in the fall of the academic year and remain open until spring of that year. As new articles are received they will be added to the current volume at the end of each spring. Articles can be pre-published in the Adelphi electronic journal and re-submitted for publication in print journals.
This journal aims to illustrate the various types of papers that students are encouraged to write for all of our courses. It provides examples of the kinds of topics that they might select, and strategies for the various approaches that they might use in their history papers. Some examples of student papers included in this journal are: historiographical papers, which explain historians' interpretations of particular topics, essays that take issue with or evaluate existing scholarship and introduce new ways of looking at existing subjects, and studies of oft-ignored topics and primary sources related to them. While the abstracts will be made available both to those within and outside Adelphi University, access to full papers will be given only to those with passwords. Students are encouraged to use these exemplary papers as a guide for their work, while being careful to cite and paraphrase appropriately (see the Academic Honesty at Adelphi).
The journal will encourage debate by providing a forum for scholarly discourse. Student readers are encouraged to consider their course readings and papers in light of the essays on this site and comment as they see fit.
Citation style
Papers should all conform to the Turabian style when they are submitted to the journal. These sites offer guidelines for the style required by this journal.
