SCANDINAVIAN STUDIES
Editor: Dean Krouk, editor@scandinavianstudy.org
Reviews Editor: Marianne Stecher-Hansen, reviews@scandinavianstudy.org
Scandinavian Studies is moving to a new publisher! Starting with Volume 95, Issue 1, Scandinavian Studies will be published by the University of Wisconsin Press. As we make this transition, we ask prospective authors to send submissions directly to editor Dean Krouk at editor@scandinavianstudy.org
Submissions to Scandinavian Studies are welcome on any topic related to the language, culture, or society of the Nordic region, past or present. Please note that only those papers based on material examined in the original language will be considered. Quotations of texts or sources should be given in the original language, with English translations subjoined to quotations from the Nordic languages. Previously published articles, translations of articles that have appeared or will appear elsewhere, and pieces currently under consideration at another journal are not accepted. Reviews are solicited by the Review Editor, and unsolicited reviews will be returned. The review editor welcomes expressions of interest from potential reviewers regarding subject areas or expertise. North American contributors to the journal and all those who are presenting papers at the annual meeting must be members of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study.
Your manuscript will be appraised initially by the Editor for appropriateness and accuracy, and if the Editor judges the work to be potentially publishable, it will be sent out blind to two outside readers. Anonymous outside reviews will be shared with you. The Editor may request you to make changes to your manuscript in order to improve its quality or fit with the journal. The final decision of whether your work will appear in the pages of the journal rests with the Editor.
If your piece is selected for publication, the journal’s editorial team will work with you to bring the manuscript into readiness for publication. At that point, to aid the editors in source checking, authors may be asked to provide photocopies or scans of pages cited as well as the title pages of sources not readily available in North American universities. Prompt attention to editorial team queries will ensure a speedier process for the publication of your work.
The Scandinavian Studies editors invite you to try out our new electronic manuscript submission system. This secure, personalized resource will allow you to track your manuscript through each step of the acceptance and production process.
