About the Journal

Founded in 1994, Elore is very likely Finland’s oldest open access journal. The journal is published by the Finnish Folklore Society and contains scholarly articles within the fields of folkloristics and related disciplines (e.g. anthropology, ethnology, life history and gender studies). Elore is a biannual journal that publishes peer reviewed articles, review articles, book reviews, and academic news. The publication languages are Finnish and Swedish, but occassionally, in rare cases, also articles in English are published.
