Productive Collaboration

The National Institute of Cold War Studies encourages our members to submit their research for public consideration in various formats: blogs, podcasts, articles, chapters, and/or books. Too often, a historian’s work may not reach the public for a variety of reasons – a lack of resources, a limited audience due to paywalls, or, in the worst case, a denial of access due to institutional bias. NICWS is committed to overcoming these obstacles by providing our members with the resources and community support necessary to produce historical research, accessible to a public audience. Moreover, NICWS rejects censorship of ideas based solely on political or personal biases. Our organization aims to give all our members the opportunity to share their research, while maintaining professional historical standards through peer reviews and merit-based content evaluation.
