The Indian Historical Review ( IHR ) which is listed in Thomson Reuters Citation Index is among the most prestigious publications of ICHR. Two issues of IHR are brought out every year – one in June and the other in December, since 1974. IHR has been an important means of transmitting results of researches in history. It has won wide recognition for its comprehensive and balanced coverage of different periods, as well as its high academic and editorial standards. It is perhaps the only journal of its kind that is being published continuously for the last 47 years. It is one of the few journals in India with an elaborate system of referral of all contributions to experts.

The IHR will continue to serve a broad range of research interests in Indian history from early times to contemporary history, and in the various specializations or sub-disciplines which have developed in the area of historical studies. (Publication) is Co-Editor of IHR . The technical work of production and marketing is taken care of by Sage Publications (India) Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi.

The ICHR made a request to all the scholars of Historical Research to submit their original research papers, written in Hindi for consideration and publication in ITIHAS . Two issues of Itihas are brought out every year—one in June and other in December. It is matter of great pleasure to report that Itihas ( Shodh Patrika ), which has revived in very recent past is being recognised among the scholars of history throughout the north, north west, east and west. Even the scholars of non-hindi belt are demanding for some of the articles published in Itihas ( Shodh Patrika ). The journal is listed in the UGC care list – the UGC referred journals list. Prof. Ishwar Sharan Vishwakarma, Member, ICHR & Chairman Uttar Pradesh Higher Education Comission is the Chief Editor , Dr. Om Jee Upadhyay, Director (R&A), is Editor and Dr. Saurabh Kumar Mishra, Deputy Director (Journal) is Co-Editor of Itihas ( Shodh Patrika ).
