Given its international nature, Nordicum-Mediterraneum <\/em>accepts submissions primarily in English, which is today’s lingua franca<\/em> of scholarship, although its issues in legal studies may be entirely in Icelandic. Secondarily, the journal may accept submissions in other national and regional languages of the Nordic and Mediterranean communities, Icelandic and Italian in particular, if deemed appropriate by the editors.<\/p>\n

Empirical and theoretical research are regularly considered and evaluated for publication, as well as discussion papers, interviews, institutional reports, conference proceedings, book reviews, memoirs and archival records. It is amongst the journal’s aims to be not only a dynamic instrument to follow current research and debates, but also and above all a reliable archive for future inquiries.<\/p>\n

The regular interdisciplinary issue of the journal is published every year in March<\/span>. The issue of the journal in legal studies, if and when it is published, does not have a specific month allotted, yet. All other issues are published without an exact schedule. <\/span>Specific editorial guidelines follow, concerning the most common types of publication in the journal.<\/span><\/p>\n

A) Articles, conference proceedings and review essays<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the exception of legal works written in Icelandic (see section “C)” below), all manuscripts should be sent by e-mail in a format legible by Microsoft Word (i.e., txt, rtf, doc) or OpenOffice, (i.e., odt) to: nome@unak.is and<\/span> giorgio@unak.is. Avoid submitting manuscripts in pdf format<\/span>.<\/p>\n

With the exception of contributions invited or reviewed by the editors alone, all research and theoretical papers submitted to the journal undergo blind (i.e. anonymous) peer review by two referees, whose comments are disclosed to the contributors, either partially or in toto<\/em>. Referees make sure that high academic standards apply<\/span>, including ethical ones (e.g. plagiarism, for which a special Turnitin access page is available specifically for our journal). Should major revisions be requested, then the author will return, together with a revised version of the evaluated manuscript, a detailed explanation of the changes made.<\/p>\n

Concerning the acceptable uses of A.I. tools<\/span>, our journal has developed the following guidelines, based upon the research conducted by the STM Association, whose 2025 list of nine recommended classifications<\/a> (cf. \u201cSTM#\u201d below) should be consulted if the guidelines are not sufficiently clear by themselves:<\/p>\n
