Spreading Clio: a quantitative analysis of the first 25 years of the European Review of Economic History

This paper traces the history of the first 25 years of the European Economic History Review (EREH) comparing its initial agenda with its actual publication record and measuring its success with citation data. We rely on a database of all articles published in the EREH and in the four other top field journals from 1997 to 2020. The EREH has been a great success becoming, as planned at its establishment, the main outlet for continental European scholars and expanding somewhat its remit. Nonetheless, EREH needs to do an extra mile to fill the remaining gap with the more established field journals.

The Imperative to Discuss European Islam: A Response to Grinell and Črnič

Prompted by two recent articles in European Review about the place of Islam in Europe, this article argues for the importance of considering the variants of Islam in Europe that are autochthonous as opposed to connected with migration or immigration. The article discusses the specifics of the Crimean Tatars, Bosnia, Kosovo and Albania, and the Muslims of Georgia by way of illustrating how the issues around European Islam are far from being a marginal curiosity and, in fact, point to key issues in continental culture and politics in the twenty-first century.

Study protocol to investigate the correlation between Tourette syndrome and allergy in children and adolescents

Objective Noting that the usefulness of cases diagnosed in administrative registers is dependent on diagnostic validity, in this study, we aim to elucidate the correlation between Tourette syndrome and allergy in children and adolescents, specifically with regard to incidence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, and atopic dermatitis. Methods Based on a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria, we intend to enroll 200 children and adolescents aged 18 years and younger, accompanied by their parents, for a duration of 2 years. We will administer an anonymous questionnaire in a case–control study. We will use the chi-squared test to evaluate differences between cases and controls. Results According to the European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences, the proportion of allergic diseases expected in patients with Tourette syndrome is 53.1% (17/32) and 22.9% (8/35) in the controls. Setting the type 1 error to 0.05 and the power to 0.8, we will ensure a 1:2 case-to-control ratio. Conclusions This study protocol describes our analysis of anonymous questionnaire responses. Comorbidity rates, environmental factors, and genetic factors for various allergens, allergies, and other neuropsychiatric disorders will be studied.
