自1986成立以來，地中海歷史回顧開創了不斷增長的國際學術領域，重點是Mediterranean作為一個龐大而復雜的人際交往和關系中心，無論是在地理上還是在歷史上。該雜志尋求對超越任何特定地區或傳統時期的主題的貢獻，并探索地中海背景下復雜的聯系、關系和影響網。按時間順序，MHR通常旨在整合地中海盆地古代、中世紀、早期現代和當代歷史中的各種問題。我們的學科和專題視野是以歷史為導向的，涵蓋范圍廣泛，從經濟學到智力和宗教間的交流、奴隸制、航海、早期航運保險、文學和音樂，甚至氣候。該雜志偶爾出版一些特別感興趣的文件，并附有評論。“書評部分”和“收到的出版物”為研究地中海歷史的所有學科從古代到現代的地中海歷史領域提供了一個窗口。提交出版的文章不得超過10000字，應根據最初的編輯篩選和至少兩名外部推薦人的匿名推薦進行同行評審。我們也很高興就特別議題和論壇討論有說服力的建議。

Since its foundation in 1986, the Mediterranean Historical Review has pioneered the steadily growing field of international scholarship focusing on the Mediterranean as a vast and complex hub of human interaction and relations, both geographically and historically. The journal seeks contributions on topics that transcend any particular locale or conventional periodization, and which explore the intricate mesh of contacts, relations, and influences within the Mediterranean context. Chronologically, MHR often aims to integrate various problems in the ancient, medieval, early modern and contemporary history of the Mediterranean basin. Our disciplinary and topical horizons are historically oriented, covering a broad spectrum that ranges from economics to intellectual and inter-religious exchanges, slavery, navigation, early shipping insurance, literature and music, and even climate. The journal occasionally publishes documents of special interest, accompanied by a commentary. A ‘Book Review Section’ and a rubric of ‘Publications Received’ provide a window on the state of the art in the field of Mediterranean history from antiquity to modern times in all disciplines that investigate the Mediterranean past. Articles submitted for publication, which should not exceed 10,000 words, are subject to peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by at least two outside referees. We are also happy to discuss cogent proposals for special issues and forums.
