The journal was established by the Nordic Network on Disability Research, an association that has as one of its objectives to facilitate the sharing and dissemination of social research on disability in the five Nordic countries. An important ambition is to encourage researchers from all countries to submit articles for publication, as well as to be a source of information about what is going on in critical research on disability internationally. This policy is reflected in the panel of consulting editors from several different countries. For more information, see sjdr.se
