RIHA Journal was launched in 2010 by The International Association of Research Institutes in the History of Art (RIHA). It is a peer-reviewed and open access e-journal devoted to the full range of the history of art and visual culture. As a collective endeavor, RIHA Journal seeks to share knowledge and materials issued by scholars of all nationalities, and by doing so, to make a significant contribution to dissolving the boundaries between scholarly communities. RIHA Journal publishes articles in English, French, German, Italian or Spanish. With regard to manuscripts written in another language, RIHA Journal encourages parallel publications in both the original language and in translation (e.g., Polish-English). As a genuine e-journal, RIHA Journal publishes articles continuously and welcomes submissions throughout the year, both from members of the RIHA institutes and from any other researchers in the history of art.

RIHA Journal applies a de-centralized editorial structure: In its country or area, the individual RIHA institute serves as Local Editor, managing the peer reviews and editing the manuscripts. Thus, the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte is the contact for authors working in Germany or for topics of German Art History. In addition, the Zentralinstitut provides the technical infrastructure and is home to the journal’s Managing Editor who coordinates all activities and finalizes the editorial processes.

All RIHA Journal articles are catalogued by kubikat. In addition, RIHA Journal is included in the following citation databases: Arts & Humanities Citation Index, Scopus, ERIH plus - The European Reference Index for the Humanities and the Social Sciences and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). Long-term archiving is provided by the German National Library (DNB).

RIHA Journal is currently co-funded by RIHA Association and the Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte in Munich. Initial funding was provided by the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media (Der Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien, BKM). The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, Lisbon, and the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) generously awarded RIHA Journal grants for its development between 2013 and 2016.
