While submitting a manuscript, the author should confirm that the article has not been published or has not been accepted for publication in any other academic journal. When quoting an article published in the journal "Arctic and North", the publisher asks to include a link (complete URL of the material) to the official website of the journal.

The articles previously posted by the authors on personal or public websites which do not belong to and are not connected with other publishers can be accepted for consideration.

The interval between the publications by one author (or co-author) is at least 6 months.
When submitting the article, the authors confirm that the article has not been published before and it is not going to be published in another journal.

The articles should present the results of completed and properly conducted studies. Theme and content of a submitted article should correspond to the theme of the journal, have a scientific novelty and be of interest to specialists.

The decision on publication is taken by the Editorial Board of the journal and is based on the reviewer’s conclusion; the novelty, scientific value and topicality of presented material are also taken into consideration. The manuscripts rejected by the Editorial Board are not accepted for reconsideration. 

The Editorial Board warns the authors that all manuscripts are peer reviewed and that the Editorial Board reserves the right to choose the most interesting and relevant ones to be published first. The average waiting time for a publication is 3–12 months.
