The high-impact journal Acta Histriae invites researchers from the fields of social sciences and
humanities to submit their papers, which will be published in 2025, as diamond open-access articles.
We welcome all papers presenting new findings on the topics addressed in this special issue.



 

This thematic issue of Acta Histriae aims to address legal, social, and economic aspects of
mining and mining regions: 1) How mining shaped societal structures and cultural practices; 2) what
kind of impact mining had on community development; 3) what was the role of immigration and how
it affected mining regions and towns; 4) how did cultural transfers reflect in mining regions; 5) what
are the opportunities for interdisciplinary research, such as sociology, social and cultural history,
archaeology, ethnography and literary history; 5) gender roles, especially the role of women and their
narratives; 6) perceptions in historical narratives.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:
i) the impact on societies, economies, and legal systems;
ii) societal structures and cultural practices;
iii) identity, labour relations and power dynamics;
iv) immigration;
v) interdisciplinary approaches;
vi) gender roles.

If you are interested to publish with us, please submit your abstracts (300 characters) by 01/12/2024 to
actahistriae.editor@gmail.com with only ‘Mining History’ and your full name in the email subject.
The abstracts will first undergo editorial review and those accepted will be invited to be published
as journal papers, with the deadline being 01/06/2025. All accepted papers will undergo thorough
double-blind peer-review, therefore editorial acceptance and submission alone do not guarantee
publication. We accept papers in English, Italian, Slovenian, and most other South Slavic languages:
Bosniak, Croatian, Montenegrin, and Serbian (Latin script only).
Papers have to adhere to submission guidelines, see here.
