ATCA is a reference journal in its field. In recent years it has begun to adapt to the digital formats, thus guaranteeing open access to its contents, while also laying the foundations for a new stage.

In this new stage, ATCA will continue to uphold the study and publishing of old Catalan texts from the different areas of general history and, more particularly, those pertaining to the history of its culture (theology, philosophy, science and technology, law and literature), as well as those related to archival science, codicology, books and printed culture. Unlike what has become the norm in other journals, ATCA intends to continue to place the emphasis on the publishing of editions of brief texts, brief treatises and archive documentation. With the same intention, bibliographic information will focus on text editions and on recent catalogue card instruments, relinquishing the exhaustive compilation of bibliography, a task now performed by other electronic media. Similarly, in this new stage, the Journal intends to adapt to the criteria of excellence internationally required of periodic academic publications.

Consequently, we are inviting the national and international scientific community to help us to drive forward in this new stage. To this end, we are issuing a call to participate in volume 37, due to be published in the year 2026. The deadline for submitting originals is December 31, 2025. With regard to the conditions pertaining to the submission of articles and style requirements, you are kindly asked to follow the indications published on ATCA’s new website at the IEC’s Hemeroteca Científica Catalana at https://revistes.iec.cat/index.php/ATCA/index
