Types of Manuscripts

The journal considers original research articles, review articles, conceptual and theoretical papers, and policy-oriented scholarly analyses that demonstrate methodological rigor, theoretical engagement, and a clear contribution to the existing literature.

The journal prioritizes manuscripts that:

  • make a clear and original contribution to scholarship;

  • engage critically with relevant international literature;

  • employ appropriate and transparent research methodologies;

  • demonstrate strong theoretical or conceptual grounding;

  • provide evidence-based analysis rather than advocacy-oriented commentary alone; and

  • articulate the broader implications of Palestine-related issues for Indonesian society and, where relevant, for international scholarship.

The journal encourages interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives that connect Palestine studies with broader debates in social sciences, humanities, law, international relations, communication, religious studies, and related fields.

Scope and Boundaries

While the journal centers on Palestine-related issues, its scope extends beyond the description of events in Palestine itself. The principal emphasis is on the relationship between Palestine-related developments and Indonesian society, institutions, policies, discourses, and forms of social engagement. Studies focusing exclusively on Palestine without a substantive connection to Indonesia may fall outside the journal's primary scope unless they offer a significant comparative, theoretical, or conceptual contribution relevant to understanding Palestine-related issues in Indonesian society.

The journal is committed to academic independence, methodological rigor, ethical research practices, and scholarly debate. It welcomes diverse perspectives and encourages critical analysis of contested issues while maintaining standards of evidence-based and academically responsible scholarship.
