"
The IHR is not regarded as conducting historical research by mainstream historians and academics, but rather as conducting pseudo-science aimed at proving that the Holocaust did not happen. The editorial board of one of the leading historical journals, the
Journal of American History, wrote, "We all abhor, on both moral and scholarly grounds, the substantive arguments of the Institute for Historical Review. We reject their claims to be taken seriously as historians."

"The IHR published the non-
peer reviewed Journal of Historical Review, which its critics (including the ADL, the Danish Center for Holocaust and Genocide studies, and other scholars, such as Robert Hanyok, a
National Security Agency historian,
[26]) accused of being
pseudo-scientific.
[27] When
Noam Chomsky defended an author who wrote articles for the journal (Dr.
Robert Faurisson), it led to great controversy, though Chomsky insisted he was defending Faurisson's right to
free speech rather than any specific claims made in his articles.
The journal,
History Teacher, wrote of the
Journal of Historical Review that the "magazine is shockingly racist and antisemitic: articles on 'America's Failed Racial Policy' and anti-Israel pieces accompany those about gas chambers... They clearly have no business claiming to be a continuation of the revisionist tradition, and should be referred to as 'Holocaust Deniers'."
