Norba. Revista de Historia

Norba. Revista de Historia is a Spanish academic journal dedicated to history, published by the Department of History of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the Cáceres Campus of the University of Extremadura. It was founded in 1984, when the earlier publication Norba. Revista de arte, geografía e historia was split into three independent journals, one for each of those fields. The history journal is a general history publication, but a substantial part of its content concentrates on the prehistoric, ancient and medieval periods and, geographically, on the territory that today forms the autonomous community of Extremadura. The journal appears once a year and consists of research articles by Spanish and foreign scholars. Most articles are published in Spanish, although articles in other languages such as Portuguese or French occasionally appear. Each issue contains between 10 and 15 articles and runs to between 250 and 300 pages. Some issues are monographic, focusing exclusively on a single specific topic. A large part of the published issues is freely available online through Dialnet. As a university-published scholarly journal, Norba. Revista de Historia functions as a brand of academic output rather than a commercial product line. Its identity is tied to the University of Extremadura and to the regional historical research community it serves, while also reaching an international readership through open-access dissemination and indexing services such as DICE-CSIC.

Norba. Revista de Historia traces its origins to the earlier publication Norba. Revista de arte, geografía e historia. In 1984 that combined journal was split into three independent publications, one for each of the areas of art, geography and history. The history journal thus began its separate existence in 1984, published by the Department of History of the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the Cáceres Campus of the University of Extremadura. From its foundation the journal established itself as a general history publication, but with a distinctive concentration on the prehistoric, ancient and medieval periods and on the territory of what is now the autonomous community of Extremadura. Over the decades it has maintained an annual publication rhythm, issuing one volume per year composed of research articles by Spanish and foreign academics. Most contributions are in Spanish, with occasional articles in Portuguese or French. Each issue typically contains between 10 and 15 articles and runs to between 250 and 300 pages. Certain issues have been monographic, devoted exclusively to a single theme. A significant portion of the published volumes has been made freely available online through Dialnet, supporting open access to the journal's scholarship. The journal has also been recorded in the DICE-CSIC database of Spanish scientific journals, reflecting its recognition within the Spanish academic evaluation system.
