BACKGROUND
Since at least 1969, the University of Guelph's Department of History, in conjunction with the Canadian Association for Scottish Studies and more recently the Scottish Studies Foundation, has published essays and reviews related to Scottish history and culture in the journal which, until 2001, was known as Scottish Tradition.
In the early years, contributors to this journal included leading scholars in the field such as Ian Cowan, Marcus Merriman, Maurice Lee Jr., and Edward J. Cowan. More recently, the journal has started to implement changes to once again attract scholars of a high caliber.
Editors and faculty members within the Scottish Studies Programme at Guelph are dedicated to continuing to develop the journal in order to reach a greater academic audience while maintaining enough of its traditional focus in order to provide readings that meet the interest of our subscribers.
In order to do this, all articles submitted to the journal are peer-reviewed. Having established a large enough network of leading scholars in a variety of fields within Scottish Studies, the Programme feels confident that we can ensure the quality of the Journal through this process.
Furthermore, in 2002 the journal's name was changed to The International Review of Scottish Studies in order to make clear our standing within the academic community as the leading center of Scottish studies outside of Scotland.
