The Rural History Yearbook (JGLR) is a scholarly forum for rural environmental, economic, political, social, and cultural history. It seeks to bridge epochal, spatial, and disciplinary boundaries within rural history. The JGLR has been edited since 2004 at the Department for Rural History in St. Pölten and is published by Studienverlag. An international editorial board and advisory board as well as a peer review process ensure the highest scientific quality.

Ernst Langthaler is managing editor of the JGLR.

The journal Zeitgeschichte sees itself as a scholarly discussion organ with a wide range of content, including political, economic, social, women's and gender history, history of ideas and cultural history. The journal covers the time from the first half of the 20th century to more recent and present-oriented issues. Regular reviews of recent literature are part of Zeitgeschichte's standard program. The publication also sees itself as an opportunity for young scholars. All articles submitted for publication undergo a peer-review process, and a group of editors ensures that international scholarly standards are adhered to and that the journal is up to date. The journal appears six times a year and is edited by the Verein zur wissenschaftlichen Aufarbeitung der Zeitgeschichte at the University of Vienna (Institute of Contemporary History) and is published by Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht.
