Medieval Worlds. Comparative & Interdisciplinary Studies is a double-blind peer-reviewed academic journal in the field of Medieval Studies. It is published semi-annually online and open-access by the Austrian Academy of Sciences Press on behalf of the Institute of Medieval Research at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.[1]
The journal’s main scope are interdisciplinary, transcultural and comparative studies of the time period from roughly 400 to 1500 CE, with a focus on Europe, Asia and North Africa.[2] The founders and current editors are Walter Pohl and Andre Gingrich.
History and significance[edit]
Medieval Worlds was established in 2015 with initial funding of the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) in an initiative to promote innovative open access journals.[3][4]
The journal is indexed in Crossref,[5] DOAJ,[6] ERIH PLUS[7] and EZB.[8]
Scholarly commentators have found the journal noteworthy for its programmatic efforts to change the parameters of Medieval Studies, making the field less Eurocentric and attempting to integrate it into comparative history, world history, and interdisciplinary history-writing.[9] They noted that it was promoting a new trend for 'wide-ranging comparison on a Eurasian scale'[10] and numbered it among 'new and lively initiatives which speak either directly or indirectly to the notion of a global history for the millennium before 1500'.[11] The journal's push for a new interdisciplinarity was particularly noted in a review of its fourth issue, on the historiographical consequences of archaeogenetic research.[12]
