Subtitled "Jahrbuch für Universalgeschichte", the journal is devoted to world history and mainly focuses on social, economic, and cultural aspects.[3] It features a wide variety of topics by scholars from various disciplines. An editorial published in 2013 states that it is "open to ... contributions ranging from pre- and protohistory to the present" and "to all historical topics including natural environments" and that it seeks to overcome a eurocentric perspective by publishing articles on all world regions and by encouraging comparison and the observation of transcultural entanglements.[4] According to a mission statement included in the journal's blurb, it also offers a "forum for fundamental debates" in history and cultural studies.[2]

Saeculum is a peer-reviewed journal and is published biannually. Its general editors are the German historians Peter Burschel and Christoph Marx. It publishes articles in German, English, and French.
