About Arctic Yearbook
The Arctic Yearbook is the outcome of the
Northern Research Forum

University of the Arctic
Thematic Network (TN) on Geopolitics and Security. The TN
also organizes the annual
Calotte Academy
.
The Arctic Yearbook seeks to be the preeminent repository of critical analysis on the
Arctic region, with a mandate to inform observers about the state of Arctic geopolitics
and security. It is an international and interdisciplinary peer-reviewed publication,
published online at
to ensure wide distribution and accessibility
to a variety of stakeholders and observers.
Arctic Yearbook material is obtained through a combination of invited contributions and
an open call for papers. For more information on contributing to the Arctic Yearbook,
or participating in the UArctic TN on Geopolitics and Security, contact the Editor, Lassi

AY Peer Review Process
Articles selected for blind peer-review are distributed to two faculty reviewers. AY uses a
blind peer-review process where the identities of the submitting author as well as those
of the peer-reviewers are unknown to each party. All efforts will be made by the AY
editors to keep the identities of the submitting author and peer-reviewers confidential.
Publication Frequency & Open Access Policy
Arctic Yearbook publishes annually. AY provides open access to its content at
on the principle that making research freely available to the
public supports a greater dialogue on Arctic geopolitics and security, between scholars,
policymakers, various stakeholders and northerners.
