Aims & Scope

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, which is in line with 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. How local understandings can bring to light the trends, effects, and influences that exist in different contexts globally highlights 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.
