Aims & Scope

Research across disciplines. Dialogue across boundaries.

NSIJ provides an international publication venue for rigorous scholarly work within established fields and at the intersections between them.

What NSIJ seeks to publish

The journal welcomes original research, reviews, scholarly analyses, case studies, methodological contributions, policy analyses and other academically appropriate article types across its disciplinary sections.

Interdisciplinary manuscripts are encouraged where their research questions, methods or implications cross conventional disciplinary boundaries.

Submissions should make a discernible scholarly contribution and demonstrate appropriate methodological, analytical, ethical and reporting standards for their field.
