This usage is to be distinguished from the one which makes reference to the class of authors known as Holocaust deniers who also call themselves "revisionist historians." The latter may be identified by their published articles in their own journal, the Journal of Historical Review, which is published by their organization, the Institute for Historical Review.
The distinction appears to have been introduced into American historiography shortly after World War I (about 1920) to categorize American historians who questioned the alleged "war guilt" to which Germany was subjected for allegedly being responsible for starting said war.
