My experiences as editor and author in history journals (with a special emphasis in Past & Present)

Abstract

This text registers my thoughts on the editorial work done in academic journals in the area of history. These are made with special attention to the production on Latin America. The basis of my reflections are my participation in the editorial committee of Past & Present, one of the main history journals in the world, my research on the archives of this journal, and my knowledge of the processes of review and edition of journals devoted to Latin American history.
