  • Journal of Northern Studies

    The Journal of Northern Studies is published by the Arctic Five—a partnership among five Nordic universities: Luleå University of Technology, UiT The Arctic University of Norway, Umeå University, the University of Lapland, and the University of Oulu—and the Royal Skyttean Society. It is a peer-reviewed academic publication issued twice a year with a specific focus on human activities in northern environments—how people and human culture affect, and are affected by, the environment.

    Apart from scholarly articles, the journal contains book reviews, and a section with reports and information on issues relevant for Northern Studies.
