Nordic Wittgenstein Review (NWR) was established in 2011 by the Nordic Wittgenstein Society (NWS) in cooperation with the Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB), ontos Verlag and the EU supported project "AGORA - Scholarly Open Access Research" (2011-14). The aim of AGORA was to improve the dissemination of research results in the field of European philosophy and to advance new paradigms of Open Access publishing, peer review and interlinking of philosophy data.
NWR opened its OJS platform in December 2011. It was published as a printed journal by Ontos verlag 2012 and De Gruyter 13 (print ISSN 2194-6825) and Open Access online (with a delay after print of 3 months, eJournal ISSN 2242-248X).
The first issue appeared in print in August 2012 (Open Access Dec. 5, 2012) and the second issue appeared in print in August 2013 (Open Access Nov. 28, 2013). Since 2014, the journal is published Open Access with two (or more) issues a year. Vol. 3 appeared Open Access with No. 1 in June 2014, and No. 2 in December 2014.
In 2012 and 2013, the journal was edited by Alois Pichler and Simo Säätelä from the University of Bergen and from 2014 onwards, the journal is edited by the NWS member departments in turn.
In 2015, the editorial board decided that the journal shall be full Open Access, and it means that it applies the CC-BY license starting from Vol. 4. (Vol. 1-3 used CCPL BY-NC-SA.)
The first Special Issue was published in 2015 (editors Danièle Moyal-Sharrock, Piergiorgio Donatelli and Sandra Laugier).
