until 1962 when it was changed to the Journal of American History. The JAH is a quarterly, peer-reviewed publication and is the journal of record for the field of U.S. history. In addition to scholarly articles, it regularly publishes book reviews, movie reviews, public history reviews, digital humanities reviews, and, each March, a “Textbook and Teaching” section that is freely available on their publisher’s, Oxford University Press, website. Additionally, one article each issue is designated “Editor’s Choice” and is opened to the public. A nine-person editorial board guides the review and selection of articles for publication.
