CfP RSE/IREH Fast Track

Rivista di Storia Economica / Italian Review of Economic History (RSE/IREH)

CALL FOR PAPERS

(FAST TRACK MEETING 2026)

The Rivista di Storia Economica / Italian Review of Economic History (RSE/IREH) aims to promote fresh research on economic history covering a wide range of countries, periods, and methods. To this aim, since 2022, the RSE/IREH invites submissions for a fast-track workshop and review process.

Draft articles or long abstracts (at least 2,000 words) should be submitted by March 15, 2026. By March 31, 2026, the Board will select the most promising submissions and invite the authors to a dedicated workshop on May 21-22, 2026, to be held at the Department of Economics, Management and Statistics (DEMS) of the University of Milano-Bicocca. During this meeting, each paper will be assessed by a discussant chosen by the Board, followed by a general discussion involving all attendees. The revised selected papers should then be submitted through the on-line platform of the journal by July 31, 2026. Initial selection does not guarantee publication, which will depend on the second phase of the referee process. The authors of the manuscripts will receive the referee reports, together with editorial comments, before September 30, 2026.

Accepted papers will be published immediately in early view, before appearing in print in subsequent issues of the RSE/IREH. The RSE/IREH is indexed in the Scopus database and in Web of Science (WoS), among others. The journal is rated "A" (top rank), by the Italian academic research evaluation agency (ANVUR), for the scientific sector 13/C1 (Economic History).

Those interested should send their papers to the following address: vasta@unisi.it. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
