The Journal of World History is a refereed scholarly journal that presents historical analysis from a global point-of-view, focusing especially on forces that cross the boundaries of cultures and civilizations, including large-scale population movements, economic fluctuations, transfers of technology, the spread of infectious diseases, long-distance trade, and the spread of religious faiths, ideas, and values.
The journal was founded by Jerry H. Bentley at the University of Hawaiʻi to serve as the official journal of the World History Association. It is published by the University of Hawaiʻi Press. Initially produced twice a year, it became a quarterly in 2003. As of 2008, it claims a print circulation of 1,400: 70% individuals, 30% institutions, 80% of whom are in North America.
In 2000, it made its online debut in Project MUSE, which also contains archives going back to vol. 7 (1996). In 2009, vols. 1 (1990) through 16 (2005) made their digital debut in JSTOR, with a moving wall of 3 years.
