About the website

Older content from SDÁ is being moved from WordPress to Septentrio Academic Publishing. In the meantime, previously published SDÁ issues are still available on the old website.

The entire user interface that SDÁ uses in Septentrio will eventually be translated into North Sámi. This will happen once the Open Journal System becomes available in Sámi language.
