IJSNR is published in cooperation with The International Society for the Study of New Religions (ISSNR). The term “New Religions” can be defined in several ways. ISSNR and IJSNR has chosen to adopt a broad definition. In the narrow sense, “New Religions” is a term applied especially to religious phenomena that emerged in the West after the mid-1900s. More widely understood, the term can also include older religious movements or organizations that are “new” in a specific historical context. The term encompasses organized groups as well as less organized movements or observable trends. Many of these groups and movements are international and can be found in numerous countries. There are also new religious movements that are specific to a particular country or to a particular area of the world. In recent decades, new religions or new religious movements outside of the Western context have attracted attention. Additionally, the concept of New Religions includes less organized phenomena, such as the so-called New Age and alternative spirituality, as well as new expressions within established religions.
The International Journal for the Study of New Religions considers submissions from both established scholars and research students from all over the world. Articles should be written for a general scholarly audience. All articles are refereed. Each issue includes articles and a number of book reviews.The editor will not consider manuscripts that are under consideration by another publisher. It is assumed that once submitted, to IJSNR, articles will not be sent to other publishers until a decision about inclusion has been reached. Material must not have been previously published in exactly the same format. The journal is published simultaneously in print and online.
Publication and Frequency: May and November
