It is thus aimed not only at economic and social historians, but also at economists and social scientists as well as a broad circle of people interested in economic history. All submissions are subject to a double-blind peer review with at least two reviewers.JWG Prize for Economic HistoryIn 2016, the Yearbook for Economic History established an annual Prize for Economic History.
