Aims and Scope
Sensus Historiae publishes articles on historical consciousness and historical culture. We prefer comparative approaches within nation states, comparative approaches within Central and Eastern Europe, within the entire European continent. We are also interested in historical comparative studies between distant civilizations, cultures, and continents. The time span ranges from the 16th to the 21st century.
The Journal's History
The Sensus Historiae journal was established in 2010 as a quarterly published by the Epigram Publishing House. It published academic articles on history and historical sciences, Eastern studies, cultural studies, and philosophy. The first editor-in-chief of the quarterly was historian Prof. Wojciech Wrzosek (editor-in-chief from 2010 to 2014), followed by philosopher Prof. Anna Pałubicka (2014-2020) and, jointly, historian Prof. Józef Dobosz and philosopher Prof. Roman Kubicki (2021-2024). Since 2025, the journal has been published by the Faculty of History of the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.

Reviewing process:
Each article that has been pre-approved by the Editorial board is reviewed by two Reviewers who are not employed by the institution that employs the Author of the article.
At least a half of Reviewers are neither members of the Editorial board, nor employed in the institution that employs the Editor in chief of the journal.
The reviewing process follows the rules of double-blind review procedure — Authors and Reviewers remain anonymous to each other. In some cases the Reviewer is obliged to declare that the reviewing does not entail the conflict of interests.
Reviewers use the reviewing form.
The review contains an explicit conclusion concerning the acceptance or rejection of the article.
The reviewing form is available at the journal online site.
Reviewers names are published once a year in the final volume for the particular year and at the online site of the journal.
