The journal Historical Thought was launched with the aim of providing an additional stimulus to the development of historical science in Bosnia and Herzegovina and creating a new space for the publication of research results in the field of historiography, both for established historians and young researchers, postgraduate and doctoral students, professors of history, and other experts of related sciences who can offer papers in accordance with the scientific and professional standards of the journal.The publishers launched the journal based on the awareness that historical science should be ensured a more favorable status in the scientific life of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in Bosnian society in general, including the need to affirm historical knowledge as an important prerequisite for the humanization of social relations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and in the territories of the former Yugoslav state.
