Caderno CRH began publication in the 1980s as a “Working Document” (issues 01-11), with texts that reported the results of research carried out by the Center's members and collaborators. From issue 12 (1989, published in 1990), it became a biannual scientific journal (1990 to 2003), adopting the double-blind peer review. In the following years, the journal underwent important transformations, namely: from issue 12 to issue 19, it was published in partnership with Editora Fator and the Centro Editorial Didático of UFBA; from issue 15 (1991), it began to publish original texts by national and foreign authors, with translations into Portuguese, except for texts in Spanish; in 1995, it received recognition from the national development area, with the support of the CNPq/CAPES publishing program. In 1996, a thematic section (dossier) was introduced and the journal was opened up to free submissions from the external community. As of 2004, the journal was published every four months and was recognized and classified in the Qualis-CAPES system, in the area of Sociology, as a National A journal. Soon afterward, all the articles in print were also made available in electronic format (online), via the Electronic Journal Publishing System (SEER), later known as Open Journal Systems (OJS). Since 1994, Caderno CRH has been indexed in important international and national indexers, such as Sociological Abstract and DataIndice, and, in 2006, in Citas Latinoamericanas en Sociologia y Economia (CLASE). In 2009, it joined the SciELO Collection and the SCOPUS database. In 2014, it joined the Redalyc-Red de Revistas Científicas de América Latina y el Caribe, España y Portugal platform, making available all articles published since 2005. In 2020, given the recommendations of the indexers and the best national and international examples, we decided to adopt the continuous publication format, also becoming exclusively electronic. Since then, manuscripts have been collected in an annual volume and identified by a unique number. In doing so, we have accelarated the process of communicating research, making the results available for reading and citation. With its continuous publication format, the journal keeps its editorial flow in line with the recommended average number of articles published in the humanities (between 25 and 35). With the authorization of the authors, we publish approved articles in the editing process on the SciELO preprint server. Inclusion in the SciELO and SCO
