About the Journal

The Liberal Arts and Social Sciences International Journal (LASSIJ) is a refereed research platform with a strong international focus. It is open-access, online, editorial-reviewed (blind), peer-reviewed (double-blind), and biannual/semi-annual (with continuous publications strategy). The main focus of the LASSIJ is to publish original research and review articles centred around the liberal arts (liberal studies—liberal sciences), including critical thinking, logical reasoning, critical policy analysis, critical decision-making, cultural diversity, gender equality, conflict resolution, and human rights. The coverage of LASSIJ is dedicated to these allied fields, focusing on relevant themes from interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary integrated studies of arts, social sciences and administrative sciences, underscoring LASSIJ's commitment to valuing and promoting cross-disciplinary and transdisciplinary research. The LASSIJ's content is distinctly international, focusing on cross-national studies or comparative studies wherein the topics are compared in various countries and a preference for manuscripts by foreign-affiliated authors/co-authors. This international focus is designed to attract authors and readers from diverse backgrounds. At the LASSIJ, we believe that including multiple academic disciplines helps pool the knowledge from two or more fields of study to handle better-suited problems by finding solutions established on new understandings. Founded in 2017 under the umbrella of IDEA Publishers Group, the LASSIJ provides a publication platform that follows an eminent standard of research to academics and professionals, especially researchers, scholars, and scientists of national and international reputation. This commitment to maintaining a high standard of open-access publishing reassures our audience about the quality of our journal.
