Journal of the North Atlantic is a new multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed
and edited scientific journal focused on the peoples of the North
Atlantic, their expansion into the region over time, and interactions
with the changing environment. The journal will be published in print
and online versions and the first issue is planned for March 2008.
Edited by a 38-member Board of Editors, the journal is intended to serve
as a forum for researchers and an information resource for teachers,
students, and the intellectually curious who would like to learn about
the latest research and study opportunities within the region.
The journal will publish a wide diversity of research papers, research
summaries, and general interest articles contributing to a
comprehensive, multidisciplinary understanding of the historical
interplay between cultural and environmental changes in the North
Atlantic. Specifically, the journal's focus includes paleo-environmental
reconstruction and modeling, historical ecology, anthropology, ecology
of organisms important to humans, archaeology, human/environment/climate
interactions, climate history, ethnography, ethnohistory, historical
analyses, discussions of cultural heritage, and place-name studies.
The journal will also publish field observations, notes, and
archaeological site reports, as well as book reviews, summaries of
important news stories, opinion papers, and free brief announcements of
meetings, symposia, conferences, and grant opportunities. Some
advertisements that are directly related to the journal's thematic
content will be accepted.
The online version of the journal will allow authors to include special
files such as video, database, and audio files with the articles.
