About RANGIFER

Rangifer is the international scientific journal of the Nordic Council for Reindeer Husbandry Research (NOR). (Info to authors). The journal was first published in 1981, online publishing started at volume 28, 2008 and it will from now on primarily be an online journal – ISSN: 1890-6729.
Back issue articles (most of them) are also available in pdf. The change to online publishing does not alter the journal’s demand for high quality articles.

World’s only

Rangifer is the world’s only scientific journal dealing exclusively with husbandry, management and biology of arctic and northern ungulates and publishes original, unpublished papers, review articles and brief communications in all themes and fields related to the animal reindeer and reindeer husbandry as culture and industry, including papers on other northern ungulates. The establishment of the journal was motivated in developing a high quality forum for scientific publishing of the above mentioned subjects and to increase the accessibility of such research.

Rangifer is registered in international databases for scientific papers, including Biosis, Biological Abstracts, CAB, Agris.
