Nordic Journal of Migration Research

Aims & Scope

The Nordic Journal of Migration Research is a double anonymous peer-reviewed, open access international journal that is cost free for authors and readers alike.

The journal publishes theoretical and empirical analyses of migratory processes, dealing with themes such as nationalism and transnationalism, ethnic relations and racism, border practices and belonging.

The journal gives priority to Nordic issues but publishes articles from other regions given that they address issues of relevance to the Nordic context.

We are open to different methodological approaches and publish 1–2 guest edited Special Issues per year selected from bids proposed to an annual competition.

The journal was founded in 2011 by Nordic Migration Research (NMR).

It is a continuation of the Norwegian Journal of Migration Research (2000-2009) and the Finnish Journal of Ethnicity and Migration (2006-2010).

Our funding comes from the NMR network, as well as from partner organisations, such as research institutions and other funding bodies.
