Journal of Peace Research (JPR)

The Journal of Peace Research (JPR) is one of the leading global peer-reviewed academic journals in peace and conflict studies, publishing cutting-edge original research that advances understanding of violent conflict, peace processes, and conditions that foster peaceful coexistence. Since its founding in 1964 by Johan Galtung — a pioneer of peace research — the journal has shaped academic and policy debates by featuring high-quality theoretical, empirical, and methodological work across diverse geographic and disciplinary contexts. JPR encourages broad conceptions of peace while maintaining rigorous standards for theoretical insight and methodological sophistication. It regularly addresses the structural roots of violence, conflict dynamics, human rights concerns, and empirical analysis of conflict outcomes, often incorporating quantitative datasets and innovative research designs. The journal’s particular strengths include comparative conflict research, conflict forecasting, peacebuilding evaluations, and intersectional analyses of conflict systems and peace institutions. As an interdisciplinary venue, JPR welcomes contributions from political science, sociology, economics, psychology, and related fields, fostering cross-sectoral dialogue on peace and security. Its impact in the field is reflected in strong citation metrics, widespread indexing in key databases, and a reputation for shaping both scholarly inquiry and practical policy perspectives on peace and conflict worldwide.
