About this journal
Aims and scope
Nationalism & Ethnic Politics examines the effects and processes of identity-based mobilization, group formation and cohesion, ethnonational conflict and accommodation in the context of political development and what is commonly referred to as nation- and state- building. We encourage submissions which offer comparative assessments of state and community claims, reflecting on such factors as citizenship, race, religion, economic development, immigration, language, gender, Indigeneity, and related phenomena, and the effects these might have on pluralism, ethno-nationalism, irredentism, and separatism. We seek to publish contributions that engage, advance, and initiate new debates on intersectional approaches to the study of identity-sensitive politics and to offer a platform for conversations that speak to contemporary challenges of diverse, multiethnic societies across the globe.
We invite academics from all stages of their career and world regions with expertise in political studies to contribute. We strongly encourage submissions from women, nonbinary individuals, members of underrepresented groups, and people with disabilities. We particularly welcome contributions from scholars based in the Global South. The journal seeks to include pieces by contributors whose first language is not English, to draw on the expertise that exists in this subfield in the world at large, while also ensuring that the articles published are accessible to a diverse readership in the academy and beyond.
Four issues a year are published, and generally one of these is a special issue.
Peer Review Policy: All Research Articles submitted to this journal undergo a “double-anonymized” peer review by at least two referees. Rapid Communications and Review Articles undergo "single-anonymized" peer review by at least two referees, one of which will be the Editor or designate.

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication. However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
For more details, please read the Author Services guide to understanding journal metrics.
