The Nordic Review of International Studies (NRIS)

The Nordic Review of International Studies (NRIS) publishes peer reviewed scholarly contributions within the field of International Relations (IR), focusing specifically on Nordic perspectives. The NRIS is committed to publishing articles that examine the international sphere empirically, theoretically, or institutionally from a Nordic angle. This means that the contribution can include, for example, an empirical focus on one or several Nordic countries, a theoretical study that advances IR theory with a Nordic connection such as the Copenhagen School, or IR research that is produced in research institutions within the Nordic countries including the Baltic countries.

Our aim

The aim of the NRIS is to foster scholarly debates on international politics within and concerning the wider Nordic region. The NRIS embraces interdisciplinary approaches and appreciates a wide range of theoretical and methodological choices. We publish primarily in English, but also submissions in Finnish or Swedish can be considered for publication. 

FISA

The journal is published by the Finnish International Studies Association (FISA) and committed to the principles of Open Access publishing. 

Publication ethics

Publication ethics in the Nordic Review of International Studies (NRIS) published by the Finnish International Studies Association (FISA) refer to the ethical standards, policies, and guidelines set to ensure the integrity, quality, and validity of published research. These ethical standards promote honesty, transparency, and accountability among authors, editors, reviewers, publishers, and readers. 

Authorship

Authors should only be listed on a manuscript if they have made a significant contribution to the research and the writing of the manuscript. All authors should agree to the final version of the manuscript and its submission for publication.

Plagiarism

NRIS defines plagiarism as the use of someone else's work without proper attribution. This includes the use of verbatim text without quotation marks or citation, the paraphrasing of text without proper citation, and the reuse of one's own previously published work without proper attribution.

NRIS requires that all submissions to their journals are original works and have not been previously published or submitted to another journal. Additionally, all authors listed on the manuscript should have contributed to the research. If plagiarism is detected, NRIS may impose sanctions on authors who have committed plagiarism, which may include revoking publication privileges, banning the author from submitting to the journal in the future or notifying the author's institution.

Peer Review Process

The peer review process is an essential aspect of publishing research articles in NRIS. It helps to ensure that research published in the journal is of high quality, accurate, and free from errors or biases. The peer review process is conducted by independent experts in the field who have the necessary expertise to evaluate the scientific merit of the manuscript.
