Distinktion: Scandinavian Journal of Social Theory

ISSN: 1600-910XeISSN: 2159-9149
JUFO Level 1

Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes papers which make a substantial contribution to contemporary social theory. The journal particularly investigates the interface between social and political theory, often explored in thematic issues. Distinktion invites articles from sociology, political science, cultural and legal studies, anthropology, and philosophy that provide original perspectives on the social. The journal features theory articles as well as more empirical contributions, but empirical papers should outline implications for social theory. Distinktion publishes standard articles as well as review essays.

Distinktion is published in April, August, and December. Manuscripts are welcomed by the Editors. Acknowledging that some arguments require more space than 8,000 words, Distinktion is committed to publish longer paper. The Editors also welcome special issue proposals. These should clearly state the aims of the special issue; time frame (expected submission date); abstracts and titles of the individual papers (a standard special issue includes 7–8 papers); author names, affiliations, and brief bio-notes; as well as whether authors have agreed to contribute.

Articles appearing in Distinktion are abstracted and indexed in Sociological Abstracts, Worldwide Political Science Abstracts, Scopus, and EBSCO SocIndex. The journal is published with financial support from the Nordic Board for Periodicals in the Humanities and the Social Sciences (NOP-HS).

All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rdis.

Energy Research and Social Science

eISSN: 2214-6296
JUFO Level 2

Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side; and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is of relevance for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers.

Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of how social and technical issues related to both energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involve the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis therefore needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.

The journal's authorship is therefore not restricted to any discipline, but it is restricted in terms of quality and subject matter-articles are accepted based on merit, and their focus on the intersection of human activity (at whatever level of analysis) and energy systems (at whatever level of analysis). The editors emphasize that cross cultural, comparative, mixed-methods research is especially encouraged, and discourage submission of single-country case studies and/or studies that rely only on one method in isolation. Authors of single country studies, if submitted, must demonstrate that they have situated their study in the broader context and have highlighted the significance of their study. In addition, studies that utilize primarily engineering methods and econometric models must primarily focus on the "social" side of energy use and clearly meet the aims and scope of the journal.

Disciplinarily, submissions are thus welcome from all fields of inquiry since the editors recognize that in many cases high quality research may not fit into any predetermined category. Moreover, the journal will not exclude any energy source, technology, system, topic, or energy service from the scope of its articles.

Readers are actively encouraged to peruse past issues of ERSS to connect their piece to wider themes and discussions in the journal, especially the inaugural special issue available http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/22146296/1here.

Types of Articles

The journal publishes four types of articles:
• Original research articles (generally between 6,000 and 10,000 words, including references)
• Short communications and letters (generally 1,000 to 3,000 words)
• Review essays (8,000 to 12,000 words)
• Book reviews (1,000 to 2,000 words per book reviewed, longer review essays of multiple books are permitted)

Peer-review

Articles submitted to the journal will undergo two levels of review. First, the editor(s) will screen them to determine their appropriateness to the aims and scope of the journal, as well as to gauge their methodological rigor and their quality of English writing.
Second, if articles pass the editorial screening, they will undergo rigorous peer review by anonymised referees (double blind review). Generally, articles can receive one of five decisions:

  • Accept: accepts the paper as is with no further review, the paper proceeds to proofing
  • Accept with minor revisions: accepts the paper as long as the author responds adequately to reviewer/editor comments, the paper proceeds to editorial review with no peer re-review (editor reserves the right to send it to peer review)
  • Revise: provides no guarantee that a paper will be accepted but it has a second chance, the paper proceeds to editorial review always followed by peer re-review
  • Reject: rejects a paper (after peer-review) with no chance for re-review, authors are not invited to revise and resubmit the manuscript; submission in current state is not suitable for the journal
  • Reject - out of scope: rejects a paper (after editorial-review) with no chance for re-review, authors are not invited to revise and resubmit the manuscript; submission in current state is not suitable for the journal.

To assist with the advancement of the journal, all authors of accepted articles in ERSS may be requested to review at least one article in the area of their expertise.

Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions

ISSN: 2210-4224eISSN: 2210-4232
JUFO Level 2

Aims and Scope:The journal offers a platform for reporting studies of innovations and socio-economic transitions to enhance an environmentally sustainable economy and thus solve structural resource scarcity and environmental problems, notably related to fossil energy use and climate change. This involves attention for technological, organizational, economic, institutional and political innovations as well as economy-wide and sector changes, such as in the areas of energy, transport, agriculture and water management. The journal aims to tackle the most difficult questions, dealing with social, economic, behavioral-psychological and political barriers and opportunities as well as their complex interaction. The journal is multidisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, and invites contributions from a broad range of disciplines within the social, environmental and innovation sciences.Specific research areas covered include:Theoretical analysis, formal modeling, empirical studies, policy discussion and a critical survey of relevant literature. Practical cases may address transitions in specific sectors, cities or regions. Articles on historical transitions not specifically related to environment and sustainability are welcome if they include a section with unique lessons for sustainability transitions. A non-exhaustive list of keywords and themes is as follows: behavior in line with bounded rationality, development theories, diffusion of innovations, environmental regulation, formal modeling, geography of innovations, historical transitions, increasing returns to scale and path dependence, innovation policy, institutional barriers, international cooperation and coordination, learning-by-doing, learning curves, lock-in, new governance, niche markets, optimal technological diversity, regime analysis, social and political power, strategic niche management, rebound effect, recombinant innovation, sector structure, social learning, transition experiments, technological regimes, transition pathways/mechanisms, vested interests, visions of the future.Potential contributions to EIST:All submissions to Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, and fit to the journal's aims and scope. Several categories of articles are welcome.Analysis: Research articles devoted to theoretical, modeling, experimental, historical and empirical-quantitative analysis of important questions in the field. The journal also accepts qualitative case study research (historical, institutional, geographical, organizational, etc.). Furthermore, it is open to studies opposing different views and explaining fundamental differences in long-standing debates (such as on growth, the role of price instruments and the role of voluntary action). Evaluated by two or three outside reviewers. Maximum 8000 words.Surveys: Articles that review, critically examine and interpret important general subject areas within the wider scope of the journal. Evaluated by two or three outside reviewers. Maximum 10,000 words.Policy briefings:As the theme of environmental innovation and sustainability transitions is high on the agenda of many countries, the EU, and international organizations like the IEA, OECD, the UN and the World Bank, it makes sense to devote some space in the journal for policy briefings, in which new insights and ideas are translated to a broader audience. This will enlarge the potential readership of the journal. At the same time, current trends in environmental, innovation and transition policies worldwide can be commented upon. Evaluated by the editors and one outside reviewer. Maximum 2000 words.News, Views and Commentary:Topical and timely short pieces. May include editorials, letters to the editor and news items. Evaluated by the editors and/or one outside reviewer at the editors' discretion. Maximum 1,000 words.Book Reviews:Reviews of recent books in the field, with the possibility of comparing books addressing similar topics. Reviewed by the editors. Maximum 1,000 words.Special issues:The journal is open to special issues addressing exciting themes, as long as these consist of very coherent and high-quality contributions. Please contact the editor-in-chief.

Ethical Theory and Moral Practice

ISSN: 1386-2820eISSN: 1572-8447
JUFO Level 2

Ethical Theory and Moral Practice: An International Forum is a peer-reviewed journal which aims to publish the best work produced in all fields of ethics. It welcomes high quality submissions regardless of the tradition or school of thought from which they derive. As an editorial priority, however, presentations should be accessible to the philosophical community at large. Ethical Theory and Moral Practice seeks interdisciplinary cooperation between ethics, theology and empirical disciplines such as medicine, economics, sociology, psychology and law. It recognises that distinctions between theory and practice are, to a large extent, artificial. The journal therefore aims to publish theoretically relevant 'practical' ethics and practically relevant 'theoretical' ethics.

European Journal of Futures Research

ISSN: 2195-4194eISSN: 2195-2248
DOAJ Logo
JUFO Level 1

There is a significant need for European futures research as European countries face numerous substantial problems: at the same time they seek to make a contribution to solving global challenges. European regions “share” common experiences, divisions and conflicts – which altogether build a rich resource for critical examination as well as forward-looking renewal.  European integration after World War II has reshaped political, economic and social relations in Europe and beyond. Therefore, the future of Europe will also depend on the further development of the European Union in its wider transnational and global contexts. Consequently, the journal seeks to foster thorough analysis of key European policies, such as those for research and education.  Nonetheless, topics addressed in the journal are not limited to the (development of the) European Union: we invite articles that raise questions about European futures more generally. Interdisciplinary research is as welcome as are disciplinary studies, ranging from the social sciences and humanities to the natural sciences and engineering. Besides its empirical focus the journal promotes discussions about European traditions and perspectives in futures research. Another objective is to advance the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of futures studies.  Possible fields of research and topics include but are not limited to:Society: demographic change: migration: gender and social relations: welfare society: inclusion and exclusion Politics: economic, financial, and political integration in the European Union: political participation and citizenship: European identity building: EU research, innovation, and (higher) education policies:  Economy and Business Sectors: futures of work and labour, production and consumption: competitiveness and technological innovations: growth and, sustainable development: social environment and entrepreneurship: futures of leisure, sports and tourism: Science and Technology: technology foresight and technology assessment: technoscience: radical technologies: logistics, transport and mobility: media and telecommunication: human enhancement: young generations and new technologies: European citizens and the broadband society: X-cutting Issues: gender-specific and diversity perspectives: sustainability: environmental challenges and the greening of Europe: climate change policies: Methodology and Methods: futures studies in comparative perspective: new research methods: integration of qualitative and quantitative methods: future-related uncertainties, risks, and ignorance:

Philosophy of Science: epistemological and ontological questions: theory of futures studies: “new” forms of knowledge: post-positivist research approaches: ethical questions:
