About the Journal

 

Aim and Objective

The LASSIJ aims to be a leading international journal of liberal arts and social sciences. The LASSIJ seeks to publish original, innovative, and quality research on liberal arts (liberal studies—liberal sciences), critical studies, policy studies, and relevant integrated studies from allied fields of social sciences. We welcome various research types, including empirical studies that present new data and findings, theoretical analyses that propose new frameworks or interpretations, and literature reviews that critically evaluate existing research. The LASSIJ provides a publication platform that follows an eminent standard of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research for national and international academics, researchers, scholars, and scientists worldwide.

Scope and Focus

The LASSIJ's primary scope encompasses interdisciplinary themes centred around the liberal arts (liberal studies—liberal sciences), critical thinking, logic, reasoning, critical policy analysis, peace studies, conflict resolution, theology, cultural studies, gender studies, women empowerment, human rights, and behavioural studies. Our coverage focuses on the relevant themes and integrated studies from the allied fields of social sciences, humanities, arts, business studies, and administrative sciences. At the LASSIJ, we are committed to fostering a collaborative research environment that encourages the pooling of knowledge from multiple disciplines to address complex problems and generate new insights. This inclusive approach ensures that all scholars of the interdisciplinary fields can contribute to and benefit from our diverse and enriching academic discourse.

As an international journal, LASSIJ primarily focuses on high-quality manuscripts that explore global themes and comparative studies between Pakistan and other countries or regions. Publishing in LASSIJ offers several benefits, including reaching an international audience, gaining recognition in academia and the professional field, and contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the liberal arts and social sciences. We also prioritise solo or co-authored studies by foreign-affiliated scholars on local or international themes, as well as local themes theoretically relevant to readers outside Pakistan. These priorities enable the platform to share research with a global audience, gain recognition in academia and practice, and contribute to advancing knowledge in the liberal arts and allied fields of social sciences. Moreover, we provide extensive support to authors at no additional charge, including professional editing and layout services, to ensure the highest quality presentation of their work and to demonstrate our appreciation for their contributions.

Publication Frequency

The frequency of publication of LASSIJ is biannual (i.e., a semi-annual schedule from January to June and July to December). We uphold rigorous quality standards through our editorial review and peer review process. After acceptance, the manuscript is sent to our production team for editing and layout. When finalised, a PDF of the galley is uploaded on the journal website as a published version. All published articles are compiled into the journal's issue on a biannual basis. This thorough review process, which includes multiple layers of scrutiny from our editorial board and external reviewers, ensures that our work meets the highest standards of quality and integrity. This process gives potential authors confidence that their research will be published on the right platform and that our readers will respect and appreciate their work.
