Debates do NER é um periódico semestral, criado em 1997 por iniciativa do Núcleo de Estudos da Religião (NER), do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia Social da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Seus números divulgam textos científicos inéditos, decorrentes de pesquisas realizadas na área das ciências sociais e humanas, relativas à presença, análise e interpretação da religião como fato social em suas interfaces com outras esferas da sociedade. Debates do NER é atualmente um dos mais profícuos fóruns de debate e divulgação de pesquisas e reflexões relacionadas às Ciências Sociais da Religião no Mercosul, avaliado no Qualis Periódicos (CAPES) no estrato A2. Em 2012, a revista recuperou sua proposta inicial e, em algumas edições, apresenta aos leitores os comentários de diferentes pesquisadores do Brasil e do mundo em torno de um único texto.
