Scottish Studies

Aims & Scope

Scottish Studies is the journal of the School of Scottish Studies, University of Edinburgh. The journal reflects the main research areas pursued by the School of Scottish Studies: tales, custom and belief, material culture, song, instrumental music, place-names, dialectology and social organisation. Research topics have included archaeology and pre-history; demographics; ethnography and ethnology; history, land use and distribution; fishing and seafaring; material culture; onomastics; oral culture and traditions; and spiritual beliefs, customs and observances. Today we also welcome research centering on Scotland's evolving landscapes, physical and social, and the peoples who call Scotland home in the twenty-first century. Articles may be submitted in English, or in Scottish Gaelic with an abstract in English.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
