Aim and Scope

AIMS AND SCOPE OF LANGKIT

Langkit is an annual, interdisciplinary, and peer-reviewed academic journal that provides a platform for critical inquiry and creative expression across diverse fields of knowledge. Its primary aim is to foster scholarly discourse by publishing original research that contributes to the advancement of ideas in the social sciences, cultural studies, literature, humanities, and the arts. The journal recognizes that these disciplines often intersect, and thus welcomes submissions that employ interdisciplinary approaches, theoretical innovations, or comparative perspectives to shed new light on contemporary and historical issues. By offering space to both established and emerging scholars, Langkit seeks to enrich academic conversations while reflecting the diversity of intellectual traditions within and beyond the Philippines.  

Aside from conventional research articles, Langkit extends its scope to include book reviews. Book reviews are intended to critically assess recent publications in relevant fields, situating them within ongoing scholarly debates and highlighting their contributions and limitations. 

The journal is published bi-annually (June and December) and accepts submissions whole year round. It adheres to a peer review process that ensures the quality, originality, and relevance of all accepted submissions. Through this rigorous yet constructive evaluation, Langkit maintains high academic standards while encouraging innovative and critical voices. In doing so, the journal aims not only to serve as a repository of knowledge but also to act as a catalyst for dialogue among scholars, writers, artists, and readers who are engaged in exploring the complex intersections of society, culture, and creativity.
