About the journal
Research on Finnish Society, founded in 2007, is an annually
published peer-reviewed journal focusing on research articles
on, and relevant to, Finnish society. Its scope is
multi-disciplinary, covering sociology, political science, and
economics, as well as the other social sciences. The articles
published in the journal are to be based on high-quality data
and appropriate methods, quantitative or qualitative. In
particular, the journal encourages submissions with a
cross-national comparative or historical perspective.
The journal accepts original manuscripts written in good
English. Submissions are accepted throughout the year, but
there will also be a call for papers for each annual volume.
The editorial board evaluates the submitted articles and
decides which manuscripts are to be sent for double-blinded
peer review. Final decisions are made based on reviews obtained
from at least two experts, and these reviews are also communicated
to the author(s). The journal aims at a review cycle of eight weeks.
Research on Finnish Society is published both in print and
online (open access). ISSN: 1796-8739.
The journal is published by the
Society of Social and
Economic Research in the Universities of Turku (Turun
korkeakoulujen yhteiskunnallis-taloudellinen
tutkimusyhdistys ry.) founded in 1957.
