Author Guidelines

1. Aim and Scope

The Journal of Applied Humanities Studies (JAHS) is pleased to announce that it is now accepting submissions for its upcoming issues. We warmly invite scholars, researchers, practitioners, and academics from diverse institutions and disciplines to submit original research articles, conceptual papers, and academic contributions that explore, expand, and advance knowledge in the broad field of applied humanities.

Our journal is dedicated to providing an international platform for the exchange of scholarly ideas and empirical research that demonstrate how the humanities can be applied to address pressing issues in the real world. By engaging critically and creatively with the human condition, JAHS seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue that highlights the continued relevance of the humanities in shaping social, cultural, and intellectual life. The journal particularly values contributions that link theory with practice, offering insights that are both academically rigorous and socially meaningful.

JAHS focuses on two primary thematic areas:

1. Applied Humanities
This section welcomes scholarly articles that explore the practical applications of humanities-based theories, frameworks, and methodologies in addressing societal contexts. Submissions may examine case studies, theoretical analyses, or innovative practices that highlight the relevance of the humanities in contemporary life. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Religion, philosophy, and ethics in personal, professional, or social dimensions

  • Language, translation, and intercultural communication in global and local contexts

  • Cultural identity, heritage, history, and the lived human experience

  • Arts, literature, and creative practices that engage with everyday challenges

2. Interdisciplinary Humanities
This section encourages submissions that build bridges between the humanities and other fields of study, particularly the social sciences and applied disciplines. By integrating perspectives across disciplines, these contributions reveal new insights into human life and society. Suggested areas include:

  • Psychology, mental health, and human behavior

  • Education, pedagogy, and innovative teaching and learning practices

  • Social institutions, relationships, and cultural dynamics in changing societies

  • The intersection of humanities with fields such as politics, economics, or media studies

JAHS especially welcomes articles that demonstrate the role and impact of humanities knowledge in addressing contemporary global and local challenges. Issues such as inequality, identity politics, social justice, community development, mental health and well-being, cultural preservation, and educational reform are areas where the humanities continue to provide vital contributions.

By maintaining an open-access policy, JAHS ensures that research findings are widely disseminated and available to all readers without financial or institutional barriers. We believe in the principle of knowledge-sharing and seek to contribute to the creation of an inclusive and informed global scholarly community.

4. Peer Review Process

Each article is evaluated by at least three independent reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area.
