NJES Nordic Journal of English Studies

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Focus and Scope The Nordic Journal of English Studies (NJES) was created in 2002 in order to offer a forum for Nordic scholars in English language and literature and to promote the field of English studies in the Nordic countries. It is affiliated to the Nordic Association of English Studies (NAES). Starting from 2007 the journal is open access and only published online. Two or three issues of the journal are published each year. The publications are both general issues and special theme issues with guest editors. We warmly invite prospective inquiries about special issues. We are particularly interested in topics that place different areas of English studies (e.g., linguistics, literature, teaching and learning) in dialogue. While scholars based in institutions outside the Nordic countries are welcome to submit proposals for special issues, we expect at least one contribution to be from a scholar at a Nordic institution. The general issues serve as a venue for original research in the fields of English studies, including language, literature, culture, and the teaching and learning of English. For our general issues, we invite submissions from scholars with an affiliation to a Nordic institution. We also publish conference proceedings and festschrifts to honour a Nordic colleague if they can be subsumed under a special theme. The journal also publishes reviews of books thought to be of interest to our readers. The policy of the journal is also to provide a possibility for early career or doctoral researchers to publish their articles on English language or literature in a peer-reviewed journal along with more established scholars. Our readership consists of researchers and teachers both in the Nordic countries and beyond. Peer-Review Policy All submitted manuscripts are first assessed by an editor who decides whether the manuscript is suitable to be sent for peer review. Manuscripts deemed suitable for further review are sent to two or more experts

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.
