The International Journal of African Historical Studies is an academic journal dedicated to the study of African history, providing scholars with a platform to publish high-quality papers based on original research. The journal emphasizes the importance of historical analysis and encourages the use of interdisciplinary methods to deepen understanding of African history.

The magazine warmly welcomes research contributions from disciplines such as Archaeology, History, Anthropology, Historical Ecology, Political Science, Political Ecology, and Economic History. Research in these fields helps to explore Africa's historical experiences from different perspectives, including social structures, cultural practices, environmental changes, political development, and economic models. The journal encourages researchers to explore the dynamics within African societies, as well as the interactions between African societies and other cultures and societies. This includes a thorough analysis of the relationship between African society and European administrators, settlers, or colonial policies, especially when these interactions have had a substantial impact on African society.
