About the Journal

Aims & Scope

NAHJ Journal publishes original peer-reviewed research across the humanities and social sciences, with a particular concern for transdisciplinary inquiry and the recovery of non-Western intellectual frameworks. We welcome work that is rigorous in method, substantive in its engagement with primary scholarship, and alert to the questions that define intellectual life in the present. The journal does not privilege any single disciplinary method or civilisational tradition. It asks only that the scholarship be serious and the argument be clear.

We publish research articles, review essays, and research notes. All submissions undergo double-blind peer review. The journal is fully open access with no article processing charges.
