Journal for Deradicalization

Aims & Scope

The Journal for Deradicalization (JD) is the only independent and peer reviewed online journal about the theory and practice of deradicalization and processes of radicalization worldwide.

The JD is published four times per year (quarterly) by the editorial team, which previously created and established the JEX Journal EXIT Deutschland in 2013 and wants to continue its work based on independence and transparency with the JD.

The JD seeks to provide a unique platform for established scholars as well as academics, policy makers and professionals entering the field of Terrorism, Political Violence, Conflict Studies, and (De-) Radicalization research.

It invites them to: present their perspectives on the theory and practice of deradicalization work, as well as radicalization processes and new developments in radical and violent milieus or groups; submit to the journal accounts of evidence-based, empirical scientific research and analyses, conference reports, practical and methodological experiences from field work or policy recommendations; use the journal as a forum for debate and commentary on issues related to the above.

The Journal for Deradicalization (JD) is based on the independence and transparency of academic standards.

All articles are openly accessible free of charge and peer reviewed by experts in the field – practitioners and academics – to ensure the policy relevance without compromising professional scholarly standards.

The JD is completely independent of any specific institution or partisan policy regarding (counter-) terrorism and methods of deradicalization.

Impartiality, objectivity and accuracy are guiding principles we expect contributors to adhere to.
