Current Issue

The Nordic Journal of Migration Research (NJMR) is seeking to replace one of its Editor-in-Chief. The Nordic Journal of Migration Research is a double-blind 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 also from other geographical contexts.

NJMR is a non-profit journal owned by Nordic Migration Research (NMR) and the Society for the Study of Ethnic Relations and International Migration (ETMU) and published by Helsinki University Press (HUP).

The journal aims to promote and advance the circulation of the multidisciplinary study of ethnic relations and international migration that is conducted in the Nordic countries. Articles are published in English.

NJMR is looking to appoint a second Editor-in-Chief to replace Synnøve Bendixsen (University of Bergen) who is leaving the team in January 2022.

The new Editor-in-Chief will be working closely with Lena Näre (University of Helsinki) who will continue as the Editor-in-Chief. The new Editor-in-Chief will be supported by the journal editorial team and Managing Editor.

We are looking for an Editor-in-Chief with experience in the field of migration studies (particularly within a Nordic context) and previous editorial experience, including some experience in editing, reviewing, and publishing in peer-reviewed, international journals in the field of migration studies. Prior experience in using electronic submission platforms is an advantage, but not a requirement. As the Editor-in-Chief you will be responsible for assessing the quality of new manuscripts, liaising with authors, overseeing the review process, commenting on manuscripts, and collaborating closely with the Managing Editor and the Editorial team as well as the representatives of our publisher.

If you are interested in the position, please send a short motivation letter of 1-2 pages and your cv (including list of publications) to the Editor-in-Chief Lena Näre (lena.nare@helsinki.fi) by October 31st, 2021.

As of 11th April, we're happy to announce that the Content Selection & Advisory Board (CSAB) from Scopus have accepted NJMR into their database. The process to get the journal content listed in the Scopus database will now begin.
