Aims & Scope
Journal of Peace Research is an interdisciplinary and international peer reviewed bimonthly journal of scholarly work in peace research.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Edited at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), by an international editorial committee, Journal of Peace Research strives for a global focus on conflict and peacemaking.
From its establishment in 1964, authors from over 50 countries have published in JPR.
The Journal encourages a wide conception of peace, but focuses on the causes of violence and conflict resolution.
