Nordeuropaforum (proper notation: NORDEUROPAforum) is a scholarly journal, which has been published in Berlin since 1991. Publications are released continuously in digital form and freely accessible. Currently, the editorial team consists of ten editors and twenty editorial staff members from Germany, Europe, and the USA.

History
The journal was founded by Bernd Henningsen and Reinhold Wulff at the Free University of Berlin in 1991. It appealed to an audience interested in a broad range of topics relating to the geographic and political greater northern region. It was supported financially by the Northern European countries, editorially by staff in Berlin, Greifswald, and Kiel, as well as authors from the Scandinavian countries.

Following the restructuring of the department of Scandinavian studies in Berlin and the founding of the department of Northern European studies (Nordeuropa-Institut) at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the editorial team moved to Humboldt-Universität and also switched to magazine format in 1998. Since then, only academic articles have been published in German or English.

Since 2006, the journal has been published exclusively as a scientific open access publication. Its articles are free of charge, both for authors and readers. In order to address a wider audience and to take into account the current developments in science and publishing, its editorial staff decided in autumn of 2013 to expand the journal's content orientation as well as the circle of publishers and editors. Since then, the journal has been published with the subheading "Journal for the Study of Culture" and has changed its publication pattern. Instead of two issues a year, articles and reviews are now being published continuously.

Profile
The journal is an interdisciplinary forum for the German and European-Scandinavian dialogue and the scholarly exchange of views in the Baltic Sea region. As an open-access journal with double-blind reviews, it deals with the European North from a cultural studies perspective and contains articles on politics, business, and culture, as well as on methodological and theoretical discussions in the cultural and social sciences.

The spectrum of disciplines ranges from literature and linguistics to sociology, anthropology, medieval studies, history and political science to media, film, and art studies.

Geographically, the focus is directed at the entire "greater" North: The contributions cover Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the Baltic States, Northwest Russia, the southern Baltic Sea countries, and trans-regional connections.
