About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Septentrio Creative is a diamond open-access publication channel led by scholars at UiT The Arctic University of Norway that supports and explores creativity in academia and sets new standards for open peer review and academic publishing. Septentrio Creative accepts submissions from all disciplines and subject areas with a particular interest in cross-disciplinary research. Septentrio Creative publishes creative materials such as exhibitions, installations, pieces of short fiction, poems, music, digital art, software, scores, blueprints, and/or other visionary outputs or complementary materials to research published elsewhere. Septentrio Creative will contain various results from research, development, methods, approaches, teaching, innovation, mobility, outreach, creative administration, interventions, and more. The journal will be wild. By this, we mean that it will evolve over time in dynamic interaction with its contributors and the material submitted.
