“…Sobre la teoría de la historia que ha quedado después de esta transformación, puede verse una intervención propositiva en Paul (2016). 4 Tres ejemplos en Goldie (2008), Esteban de Vega (2009) y Esteban de Vega (2018). Algunos de los primeros monográficos de la revista Ayer tenían un formato intermedio entre ambos modelos, ya que repasaban lo más relevante de lo producido en el año anterior.…”

Este artículo analiza la trayectoria de la revista Historia y Política en sus primeros cincuenta números y la inserta en el marco de la evolución de la historiografía española durante los últimos veinticinco años. Se estudia la construcción de la relevancia de la revista a través de la calidad de su contenido, muy sintonizado con muchas preocupaciones historiográficas vigentes, y a través de la integración en el modelo de visibilidad marcado por la bibliometría. En este sentido, la historia de la revista puede utilizarse para reflexionar sobre las tendencias presentes en la reciente historiografía contemporaneísta española.

The Edited Collection

Edited collections are widely supposed to contain lesser work than scholarly journals; to be incoherent as volumes, no more than the sum of their parts; and to be less visible to potential readers once published. It is also often taken as axiomatic that those who make decisions in relation to hiring, promotion, tenure, and funding do so agree. To publish in or edit an essay collection is thought to risk being penalised for the format before even a word is read. After examining the origins of this critique, this Element explores the modern history of the edited collection and the particular roles it has played. It examines each component part of the critique, showing that they are either largely unfounded or susceptible of solution. It proposes the edited collection as a model of one possible idea of scholarly community: collaboration, trust, and mutual obligation in pursuit of a wider good.

The Royal Society and the Prehistory of Peer Review, 1665–1965

Despite being coined only in the early 1970s, ‘peer review’ has become a powerful rhetorical concept in modern academic discourse, tasked with ensuring the reliability and reputation of scholarly research. Its origins have commonly been dated to the foundation of the Philosophical Transactions in 1665, or to early learned societies more generally, with little consideration of the intervening historical development. It is clear from our analysis of the Royal Society's editorial practices from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries that the function of refereeing, and the social and intellectual meaning associated with scholarly publication, has historically been quite different from the function and meaning now associated with peer review. Refereeing emerged as part of the social practices associated with arranging the meetings and publications of gentlemanly learned societies in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Such societies had particular needs for processes that, at various times, could create collective editorial responsibility, protect institutional finances, and guard the award of prestige. The mismatch between that context and the world of modern, professional, international science, helps to explain some of the accusations now being levelled against peer review as not being ‘fit for purpose’.
