Dr. Helle V. Goldman

Denmark-born, American anthropologist Helle is the long-standing Chief Editor of Polar Research, the international, multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed journal of the Norwegian Polar Institute. She enjoys living within walking distance of the NPI’s headquarters above the Arctic Circle, in Tromsø, but part of her heart lies in Africa, where she did her doctoral fieldwork and where she has a few hectares of wilderness which she visits as often as she can. She feels strongly about issues like peer review and the value added to journal publications through editing and copyediting and is proactive in discussing these issues with authors and others interested in publication.
