According to the publisher, it strives to give priority to efforts of placing Scandinavian developments into a larger context, that is studies explicitly comparing Scandinavian processes and phenomena to those in other parts of the world.^[1] The journal was created because historians in the Nordic states felt that there was a need for a general history journal on the Nordic region in the English language.^[2]

The journal appears printed and on the Internet. All peer review is double blind.^{[citation needed]}
