History
The first issue came out in the fall of 1976.[1][2] The journal's founders intended to "improve the quality of historical explanation" with "theories and methods from the social science disciplines" and to make generalizations across historical cases.[1] The journal was first published by the University Center for International Studies at the University of Pittsburgh then starting in the 1980s by Duke University Press.[3][4] Starting in 2015 the publisher is Cambridge University Press.[5]
Lawsuit with publisher
The Social Science History Association invited bids from publishers and told the Duke University Press in June 2012 of its intent to end the agreement for the press to publish Social Science History. The association planned to seek another publisher. Duke asserted it owned the title of the journal, though not the copyright for its contents. In March 2013 the association sued the press for copyright infringement.[6][7][8] When the case was resolved the association was able to switch publishers.
