JONA masthead

... an archaeology and environmental history journal.

The Journal of the North Atlantic (JONA) is a multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed and edited archaeology and environmental history journal focusing on the peoples of the North Atlantic, their expansion into the region over time, and their interactions with their changing environment (ISSN #1935-1948 [print] and 1935-1933[online]).

Journal of the North AtlnaticSince it is a full-featured online-only journal, articles can be quickly published and made available to researchers worldwide. Journal content can be conveniently accessed both by subscription and on a single-article basis. The journal publishes individual papers on an article-by-article basis. Whenever a manuscript has completed its peer review process and the article galley has been approved by the author, it will be immediately published online in the BioOne database and on the JONA website. This publishing model is also available for special volumes such as conference and symposium proceedings or other collections of papers. In effect, this means that articles are grouped online over time, i.e., the table of contents of volumes will grow as articles are posted online, which has the advantage of rewarding prompt authors, while enabling tardier authors to retain the option of being included in a special volume without delaying its publication.The journal has no publication fees, even for special volumes and large monographs. We are happy to work with volume editors and authors to arrange for professionally printed copies of their JONA publications. The journal is indexed in a full range of journal content databases.

The journal publishes a wide diversity of research papers, as well as research summaries and general interest articles in closely related disciplines, which, when considered together, help contribute to a comprehensive multi-disciplinary understanding of the historical interplay between cultural and environmental changes in the North Atlantic world. Specifically, the journal's focus includes paleo-environmental reconstruction and modeling, historical ecology, archaeology, ecology of organisms important to humans, anthropology, human/environment/climate interactions, climate history, ethnography, ethnohistory, historical analyses, discussions of cultural heritage, and place-name studies.

The journal is part of the BioOne.org database. This database allows authors to include supporting files such as video, database, powerpoint, and audio files, and to freely include color photographs, maps, and figures with their articles.

skalholt mapThe Skálholt Map, whose first version dates back to 1570, is the earliest cartographic attempt to combine knowledge of the vast North Atlantic region with the travel accounts contained in the Viking Sagas. This map provided the principle clue which led to the discovery of the Viking site, L'Anse-aux Meadows, on the Northern tip of Newfoundland.
