  • Nordic Journal of Comparative and International Education (NJCIE)

    The Nordic Journal of Comparative and International Education (NJCIE) is the only journal in the Nordic countries specifically addressing themes within our field and serves as a connecting node for comparative scholars in, or interested in, the region. NJCIE is a Diamond Open Access journal following the Science Europe initiative working to strengthen Diamond Open Access in scholarly publishing.

    We invite papers that seek to analyze educational discourse, policy and practice and their implications for teaching and learning, and particularly invite papers investigating topics through an interdisciplinary lens focusing on new insights and fostering critical debate about the role of education in diverse societies. NJCIE is concerned with the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts shaping education. The ways in which local understandings can bring to light the trends, effects and influences that exist in different contexts globally highlight the general understanding of Comparative and International Education in NJCIE.

    All papers should include a comparative and/or international dimension. Furthermore, all contributions must engage with wider theories and debates in the field of comparative and international education and include a Nordic and/or global perspective.

    NJCIE invites Nordic and international contributions alike. The journal includes research from all geographic regions in the world. The journal invites contributions in English and all official Nordic languages. NJCIE aims for four issues per year.

  • Nordisk Administrativt Tidsskrift

    The Nordic Administrative Journal (NAT) is an interdisciplinary, open access journal published by the Nordic Administrative Association (NAF). The journal has strong roots. It has been published since 1920 and is the oldest interdisciplinary journal in the Nordic region.

    As a scientific journal, the purpose is to unite experts in public administration and scientists who research public administration. Interdisciplinary is the journal's traditional strategy. This means that the perspective on the public administration can be legal, financial, administrative scientific/organizational or political science. Particularly desirable are comparisons of Nordic administrative practice and the facilitation for discussion, partly on the basis of scientific articles, and that management experts participate in the discourse.

    The journal unites the Nordic departments of NAF and also informs about their activities and about current administrative events in the Nordic countries.

    The journal usually publishes three numbers annually. The journal publishes articles in the Scandinavian languages Danish, Norwegian and Swedish. Authors who do not speak Scandinavian languages can publish their articles in English.

    NAT welcomes reviews, comments, book reviews and scientific articles that address these topics. Commentaries about scientific articles are also desirable. All scientific papers go through an anonymous peer review.
