English Historical Review Manuscript Assistant
Evaluates manuscript fit and ensures empirical, archival, and historiographical rigor for submissions to The English Historical Review (EHR).
The English Historical Review Manuscript Assistant helps historians evaluate article fit, verify documentary and primary-source rigor, and format submissions for The English Historical Review (EHR), published by Oxford University Press. It guides researchers through EHR's empirical standards across British, European, and world history from medieval to modern eras, identifying desk-reject triggers, checking Chicago-style footnote standards, advising on double-blind review anonymization, and offering re-routing suggestions for generalist or theory-focused historical manuscripts.
