Nordeuropaforum ( spelling NORDEUROPAforum ) is a German-language scientific journal published in Berlin since 1991 . Publications appear continuously in digital form and are freely accessible. The editorial team currently consists of a team of 9 publishers and 20 members from Germany, Europe and the USA.
history
The magazine was founded in 1991 at the Free University of Berlin by Bernd Henningsen and Reinhold Wulff and addressed an audience interested in a wide range of topics related to the geographic and political area of the north . She was financially supported by the Northern European countries, editorially by employees in Berlin, Greifswald and Kiel as well as authors from the Scandinavian countries.
As a result of the restructuring of Scandinavian Studies in Berlin and the establishment of the Northern Europe Institute at the Humboldt University in Berlin , the editorial team moved to the HU in Berlin and in 1998 also switched the magazine to magazine format. Since then, purely academic articles have been published in German or English.
Since 2006 the journal has been published exclusively as a scientific open access publication, the articles of which can be used free of charge. The publication is also free of charge for authors. In order to address a broader audience and to take account of current developments in science and publishing, the decision was made in autumn 2013 to expand the content of the magazine and the circle of publishers and editors. Since then, the magazine has had the subtitle “Zeitschrift für Kulturstudien” and has changed the way it is published. Instead of two issues per year, articles and reviews are now published continuously.
