The Journal of the New Nissology (Latin: Acta Novæ Nissologiæ) is an open access interdisciplinary journal of island studies. It is affiliated with the Institute for Insular Affairs Scholarship at Exuperius University on the Kiravian island of Eusa.
The journal is the successor to the Journal of Insular Issues, a High Coscivian periodical published under the ægis of the Exuperius University Faculty of Nissology from 1956 to 1991. Both embody the 'new nissology' movement of the Kiravian Sunderance, which arose when the Kiravian Federalist government, finding its de facto jurisdiction reduced to a scattered network of mainly island territories, demanded a new era of research on islands and their characteristic challenges and conditions, especially with regard to economic development and governance. Government initiatives and infusions of funding from foundations backed by trading companies and látuxarin helped to consolidate nissology as an academic discipline structurally/functionally autonomous from more general studies of geography, regional studies, coastal studies, and regional development. In 1992, after Kiravian Reunification, the journal adopted its current title and undertook a rennovation to internationalise its scope and profile, switching its language of publication from High Coscivian to Latin and appointing eminent foreign scholars to its editorial board. Concurrently, it broadened its subject matter from its core focus on human geography and development to include ecology, history, and even literary and philosophical commentary on islands.
