Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Breve Histórico História (São Paulo) é um periódico consolidado na área de História, editado desde 1982 pela Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). O periódico é fruto da fusão dos Anais de História, publicado pela Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Assis, entre 1969 e 1977, e Estudos Históricos, publicado pela Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Marília, entre 1963 e 1977. A partir de 1990, a Revista passou a ser editada pelos dois Programas de Pós-graduação em História da UNESP, situados nas cidades de Franca e Assis. Em 2006, depois de mais de uma década de experiência, os programas, para otimizar os trabalhos da Revista e alcançar um maior nível de qualidade, optaram por extinguir duas outras publicações que então eram mantidas separadamente - a Revista Pós-História, pertencente ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em História de Assis, e a revista Estudos de História, editada pelo Programa de Pós-Graduação em História de Franca. Em 2007, a Revista História (São Paulo) que há tempos estava incluída em diversos indexadores internacionais, passou a circular exclusivamente em meio digital, o que gerou uma expressiva ampliação e diversificação do seu público. A experiência de trabalho conjunto na edição da Revista História (São Paulo) foi fundamental para a fusão dos Programas de Pós-graduação em História da UNESP, a partir de 2020. Acesso Aberto Este periódico segue o modelo de Acesso Aberto (Open Acess), permitindo o acesso virtual, sem restrição (incluindo restrições financeiras), a todos os textos científicos publicados pelo periódico. Acesso aberto é a condição em que o detentor dos direitos autorais de um trabalho acadêmico concede direitos de uso a terceiros usando uma licença aberta (Creative Commons Attribution, CC-BY), permitindo acesso gratuito imediato ao trabalho e autorizando qualquer usuário a ler, baixar, copiar, distribuir, imprimir, pesquisar ou vincular os textos completos dos artigos, rastreá-los para indexação, passá-los como dados para software ou usá-los para qualquer outra finalidade legal. Conformidade com a Ciência Aberta Este periódico está em conformidade com os princípios da Ciência Aberta e segue o modelo Gold Open Access. História (São Paulo) aceita manuscritos previamente depositados em um servidor não comercial de Preprints, desde que não estejam submetidos simultaneamente à revisão por pares em outro periódico.
