The Norland Educare Research Journal is an international double-blind peer-reviewed journal, published twice annually, online only. It is an open access journal, offering free-of-charge publication to researchers and authors, and free access to papers for readers.

The journal has a distinct thematic focus on the interplay of education and care, and its scope is to challenge established early childhood discourses, practices and policies, and to construct situated knowledge on home-based educare that is of global relevance and local significance.
