Editorial boardFondée en 1929 par Marc Bloch et Lucien Febvre, les Annales illustrent, au-delà de ce prestigieux héritage, la recherche historique dans ce qu’elle a de plus neuf et d’original. La revue se veut le lieu privilégié d’un dialogue raisonné, par l’exemple et par le fait, entre l’histoire et les différentes sciences sociales. Nouveaux domaines de la recherche et histoire comparée, ouverture sur le monde et réflexions épistémologiques, travail sur les documentations et réflexivité historiographique définissent ainsi l’esprit des Annales. Une large place est également accordée, dans les pages de la revue, à l’examen et à la critique de la production scientifique récente sous forme de comptes rendus et d’analyses approfondies d’ouvrages marquants, à travers des notes critiques et des forums.Revue à comité de lecture, les Annales sollicitent également des avis et expertises auprès de spécialistes afin de sélectionner les meilleurs articles et proposer des pistes pour leur amélioration. Les Annales publient des dossiers fondés sur des recoupements thématiques ou des numéros spéciaux consacrés à des champs particuliers de l’histoire. La revue encourage la diffusion bilingue de la recherche par la traduction d’articles en français et en anglais. Elle s’appuie sur un réseau de correspondants internationaux qui nourrissent la revue de recherches venues de tous les continents et qui contribuent à son rayonnement. La revue développe aujourd’hui un podcast et se montre plus largement attentive aux nouveaux formats de diffusion de la recherche.
