NJMR Statement of Journal Policy

NJMR is a peer-reviewed open-access international journal committed to disseminating research in the field of international migration, ethnic and intercultural relations. The journal was founded in 2011 by Nordic Migration Research, which comprises the major Nordic high education and research institutions that conduct research in this field. NJMR is a continuation of the Norwegian Journal of Migration Research (2000-2009) and the Finnish Journal of Ethnicity and Migration (2006-2010).

The goal of NJMR is to contribute to improving the state of the art in the field, in both theoretical and empirical terms, by publishing insightful, cutting-edge and impactful research. NJMR aims to be multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary in both content and methodologyand welcomes submissions from scholars in all social science and humanities. We accept scholarly articles, research papers, book reviews, review articles and short academic debate pieces that are previously not published or currently not under evaluation by another publisher.

We seek to publish high-quality research in the areas of migration theory and empirically-oriented analyses of migratory processes, migration and integration policies, citizenship matters, and intercultural relations. The editorial board gives high priority to Nordic issues and comparative studies of integration in Nordic and non-Nordic countries.

NJMR publishes four issues a year – March, June, September and December. The journal publishes primarily in English, and also Nordic languages. NJMR occasionally publishes guest-edited Special Issues or Special Journal Sections devoted to particular themes or theoretical problems in the above-mentioned themes.
