Public History Review

Journal Title：Public History Review

Commenced in 1992 under the auspices of the Professional Historians Association of New South Wales and, from 1999, the Australian Centre for Public History, Public History Review is now in its 32nd and, I must report with some regret, final year of publication. Paper-based until 2005, and digitally published by UTS ePress at the University of Technology Sydney from the following year, PHR has published over 300 articles as well as many more reviews and reports from the field. As per its original mission, the journal has published the work of historians and other professionals at various career stages – from the eminent to the emerging. This was always a key part of its mission. And it was the reason that the journal received a cultural grant from the New South Wales Ministry for the Arts during most of the 1990s.

The journal, with its tiny resource base, closes with an impressive digital record. It has 2,814 readers in over 50 countries; 366 registered reviewers; averages around 2,500 abstract views per month (12,000 in February 2018 given a strong interest in articles on public history in India and South Africa); and its most viewed/downloaded article – Meg Foster’s ‘Online and Plugged in?: Public History and Historians in the Digital Age’ – has had 6,405 abstract views, 7,236 file views and 2,927 pdf and 4,309 html downloads, all of which continue to rise week-by-week.

《公共历史评论》于1992年在新南威尔士州专业历史学家协会和澳大利亚公共历史中心的赞助下开始出版，从1999年开始，现已进入第32期，我必须遗憾地报告，这是出版的最后一年。直到2005年，PHR一直以纸质为基础，次年由悉尼科技大学的UTSePress以数字形式出版，PHR已经发表了300多篇文章以及该领域的更多评论和报告。根据其最初的使命，该杂志出版了历史学家和其他专业人士在不同职业阶段的作品，从杰出到新兴。这一直是其使命的关键部分。这也是该杂志在20世纪90年代大部分时间里获得新南威尔士州艺术部文化资助的原因。

该杂志的资源基础很小，但以令人印象深刻的数字记录结束。它在50多个国家拥有2814名读者；366名注册审稿人；平均每月约2500次摘要浏览（2018年2月为12000次，因为人们对印度和南非的公共历史文章非常感兴趣）；以及其浏览量/下载量最高的文章——梅格·福斯特的《在线和插件》：“数字时代的公共历史和历史学家”-有6405次摘要浏览，7236次文件浏览，2927次pdf和4309次html下载，所有这些下载量都在每周增加。

Public History Review由UTS ePRESS出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖HISTORY全领域，平均审稿速度 52 Weeks ，影响因子指数0.5，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
