About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Nomadic Peoples is an international journal published for the Commission on Nomadic Peoples, International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences. Its primary concerns are the current circumstances of all nomadic peoples around the world and their prospects. Its readership includes all those interested in nomadic peoples — scholars, researchers, planners and project administrators.

 

Peer Review Process

Papers submitted are screened for suitability by the editor, and all potentially publishable papers are then sent to two scholars with appropriate research interests who have agreed to act as referees. The editor acts on the referees' advice in taking the final decision on whether to accept, reject or request modifications by the author(s). The peer review process for all research articles is double blind.
