Norwegian Archaeological Review is an international journal with particular emphasis on archaeological theory, method and practice.
The journal will accept case studies from around the world with a clear focus on theory and method, as well as papers aimed more directly at current debates and trends in archaeological research. Contributions presenting innovative interpretations and new results are welcomed. In order to encourage international debate, the editor will select suitable articles for discussion through comments from specialists, followed by the author’s reply.
In addition to original research articles NAR also accepts short communications from ongoing research projects and responses to current issues and debate, comments on recent research through review articles, visual essays plaiting text and visual material and book reviews.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single anonymized and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/sarc.

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.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
