Each issue of the Global History Magazine includes three fixed columns: editorials, academic papers, and commentary articles. The editorial section is written by specially invited experts, which highly summarizes the core viewpoints and academic trends of the current magazine. Academic papers are the core content of journals, with authors elaborating on their personal views based on specific research and fully presenting historical facts. Each issue consists of approximately 5 to 6 papers. Comment articles include opinion reviews, book reviews, and new book information releases, providing readers with diverse perspectives related to the current topic.

The Global History Journal has clear publishing goals and objectives, aiming to resist the trivialization of historical research, reinterpret the meaning of globalization, eliminate the influence of "Eurocentrism", encourage innovative comparative research, and promote interdisciplinary cooperation. Its content covers a wide range of historical interactions, cultural exchanges, economic connections, and other aspects on a global scale, striving to present readers with a more comprehensive and in-depth global historical perspective.
