The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies is internationally recognized and covers several disciplines including history, social studies, religion, thought, literature and the arts, from the early modern period to the present day. Published four times a year, it welcomes contributions from established and senior scholars, as well as encouraging work from younger scholars at the start of their academic careers. Each issue of the journal comprises research papers and reviews of scholarship in Jewish Studies. The journal has established an annual essay prize for scholars in the early stages of their careers.
The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies has wide regional coverage and chronological range. A collection of articles taken from a number of issues has been published as a book, Sites of Jewish Memory: Jews in and from Islamic Lands (2014).
Peer Review Policy: All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.
What distinguishes the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies from other Jewish studies journals is that it is quite broad in scope and that it boldly tackles controversial themes andissues. Anyone interested in the most up-to-date debates in the field will not be able to ignore this young Jewish Studies journal.” Professor Y. Michal Bodemann, University of Toronto As a new editor of a journal, I can now see just how much effort, talent, and ingenuity Glenda Abramson puts into the Journal of Modern Jewish Studies, and can’t help but admire the results. It has rapidly become a vital part of the field.
Jeremy Dauber, Columbia University, co-editor, Prooftexts: A Journal of Jewish Literature
The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies has distinguished itself as a high-quality and academically rigorous meeting ground for interdisciplinary, innovative and contemporary research on different aspects and dimensions of the modern Jewish experience.
Maoz Azaryahu, University of Haifa
The Journal of Modern Jewish Studies contains articles on unique and interesting facets of Jewish and Israeli life not found in other publications. At the same time, it maintains high standards through the employment of innovative and up-to-date comparative and interdisciplinary methodology. It contributes not only to the study of Judaism and Israeli society, but also to the theoretical understanding of collective memory, political cultural, citizen/state relations, social communication and other topics which head the contemporary agenda of the social sciences and humanities. On this account, I recommend this journal not only as a forum for the understanding of Judaism and Israel, but also as an original intellectual arena for political scientists, sociologists and students and researchers of culture. Here they will find interesting theoretical ideas on Israeli society and Jewish life.”

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
