The journal World History has been published by the Institute of History of the Research Centre for the Humanities of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences again since 2011. It was launched as a yearbook in 1964, and then from 1979 it was continued as a journal. The four volumes of World History contains essays by Hungarian and foreign scholars on various topics pertaining to world history, as well as reviews on the secondary literature published in Hungary and abroad. The language of the journal is Hungarian, but each article includes an abstract in English.

Subscriptions can be made at any Hungarian post office, but issues of the journal (including older issues) can be bought or ordered from the Institute as well (postal address: MTA BTK Történettudományi Intézet, 1014 Budapest, Úri u. 53.; telephone: 224-6700/626; e-mail address: ).
