　　World History Studies will present first-class achievements in world history studies and encourage academic innovations. It aims to introduce the latest studies of world history in China to the international academia and to promote the communication among scholars in China and other parts of the world.

　　World History Studies will mainly publish papers on world history by Chinese experts, while contributions of international historians are also welcomed. According to our interim plan, the contents of each issue will be divided into a few sections, including history of individual countries and regions, ancient and medieval civilizations, global history, history of international relations, China and the world in historical context, review of scholarship of world history studies in China, review of the latest Chinese monographs on world history, introduction of influential Chinese scholars on world history, etc.

　　In order to secure the academic quality of the journal, we will adopt the procedure of peer review, so as to make strict examination of the articles submitted. The crucial consideration for selection is whether the submitted contributions on world history are original, whether they have achieved a high level in international standard, and whether they thoroughly follow the international academic regulation.

　　World History Studies will be printed by SSAP. We plan to cooperate with some world-famous publishing corporations through SSAP, so as to make World History Studies widespread in the world. Institute of World History will organize personnel to undertake the editing and translating tasks for the journal; while SSAP will undertake the responsibility to publish and distribute each issue through its network platform and distribution platform. Every issue will be published in both paper form and electric form. The electric edition will be available online via corresponding international searchable academic databases; and the paper edition will be subscribed and distributed worldwide.

　　We hope that we can, with the help and support of scholars on world history at home and abroad, make this journal into an important window for the international academic world to have in sight the research on world history in China and a useful forum for Chinese historians and their international counterparts to communicate with each other.

　　We heartily welcome contributions and recommendations of suitable articles to our journal. As a general rule, the draft of the contribution should be written in English and should follow the international academic regulation; while drafts written in Chinese are also accepted in particular cases.
