ARCTIC
Scope & Guideline
Fostering Dialogue on Arctic Challenges and Solutions
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Interdisciplinary Research:
The journal emphasizes research that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries, integrating insights from ecology, anthropology, geography, and social sciences to provide a holistic view of Arctic issues. - Indigenous Knowledge and Perspectives:
A core focus is on incorporating Indigenous knowledge systems and perspectives, particularly in relation to environmental stewardship, subsistence practices, and cultural heritage. - Climate Change and Environmental Studies:
The journal frequently publishes studies on the impacts of climate change on Arctic ecosystems, wildlife, and human communities, aiming to understand and address these pressing challenges. - Sustainable Development and Resource Management:
Research on sustainable practices, resource management, and economic development in Arctic communities is a significant aspect of the journal, reflecting the need for balance between development and conservation. - Policy and Governance:
The journal explores governance frameworks and policies affecting the Arctic, including Indigenous rights, environmental regulations, and international relations, to inform better decision-making.
Trending and Emerging
- Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategies:
A growing focus on how Arctic communities and ecosystems can adapt to climate change, including innovative practices and resilience-building strategies, is increasingly evident in recent studies. - Food Security and Sovereignty:
Research exploring food security issues, particularly within Indigenous communities, is on the rise, emphasizing the importance of local food systems and cultural practices in the face of environmental changes. - Community-Based Participatory Research:
There is an increasing trend towards community engagement in research, where local knowledge and participation are prioritized, reflecting a shift towards more inclusive and collaborative research methodologies. - Technological Innovations in Environmental Monitoring:
Emerging studies are focusing on the use of new technologies for monitoring ecological changes in the Arctic, highlighting the integration of traditional methods with modern scientific approaches. - Intersections of Health and Environment:
Recent publications are increasingly examining the connections between environmental changes and health outcomes in Arctic populations, underscoring the need for interdisciplinary research that addresses social determinants of health.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Analysis of Arctic Expeditions:
There has been a noticeable reduction in publications focusing solely on historical narratives of Arctic exploration and expeditions, suggesting a shift toward contemporary issues and their implications. - Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) Alone:
While Indigenous knowledge remains a vital aspect of the journal, the standalone discussions of TEK without integration into broader ecological or social contexts have diminished, reflecting a preference for interdisciplinary approaches. - Single-Species Focus in Wildlife Studies:
Research that concentrates solely on individual species without considering ecosystem interactions or broader environmental contexts seems to be less frequent, indicating a move towards more comprehensive ecological studies.
