Scandinavian Journal of Disability Research is an international peer-reviewed journal aiming to disseminate leading social research on disability.
The journal’s defining characteristic is a focus on the relation between persons with disabilities and their environments, it is multi-disciplinary in scope incorporating research from a variety of perspectives including:
- Educational
- Sociological
- Socio-psychological
- Historical
- Legal
- Economical
- Socio-medical
The journal was established by the Nordic Network on Disability Research, an association that has as one of its objectives to facilitate the sharing and dissemination of social research on disability in the five Nordic countries. An important ambition is to encourage researchers from all countries to submit articles for publication, as well as to be a source of information about what is going on in social research internationally. This policy is reflected in the panel of consulting editors from several different countries.
The journal recognises that a wide range of methodological and theoretical points of departure can be significant contributions, and as such welcomes both empirical and theoretical articles, as well as a wide range of methodological approaches. Methodological innovations and research reviews are also welcome.
