Aims & Scope

Aims

Synergy: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies (SIJMDS) aims to:

  • Promote high-quality, original research in the core areas of social sciences, humanities, education, management, economics, and closely related interdisciplinary fields.
  • Encourage scholarly work that integrates theoretical, empirical, and applied perspectives to address contemporary social, economic, educational, and policy challenges.
  • Provide an international platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to foster dialogue and collaboration across related disciplines within the social sciences and humanities.
  • Contribute to academic discourse that informs evidence-based policy, governance, education reform, economic development, and societal progress at regional and global levels.

The journal prioritizes research within the social sciences and humanities while particularly encouraging interdisciplinary studies that connect these domains and address contemporary societal, educational, economic, and governance challenges.

Scope

SIJMDS welcomes original, unpublished manuscripts that demonstrate academic rigor, originality, and relevance. The journal focuses on interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary studies primarily within the following interconnected areas:

  • Economics and Development Studies (including economic policy, development economics, and regional/global economic issues)
  • Education and Pedagogical Studies (including teaching/learning processes, educational policy, and learner engagement)
  • History and Cultural Studies (including historical analysis, cultural dynamics, and heritage-related research)
  • Language, Literature, and Humanities (including linguistics, literary criticism, and broader humanistic inquiries)
  • Library and Information Science (including information management, digital libraries, and knowledge organisation)
  • Management, Business, and Organisational Studies (including business administration, organisational behaviour, and management practices)
  • Political Science, Public Policy, and Governance (including political theory, public administration, governance structures, and policy analysis)
  • Psychology and Behavioural Sciences (including cognitive psychology, social psychology, educational psychology, mental health studies, organisational psychology, behavioural research, and psychological well-being)
  • Sociology and Social Research (focusing on social structures, change, and empirical social studies)

The journal particularly encourages submissions that bridge these areas—for example, economic perspectives on education policy, management approaches to governance, or cultural/historical contexts in social and economic development.

SIJMDS accepts various scholarly formats, including:

  • Original research articles
  • Review papers
  • Case studies
  • Conceptual/theoretical contributions

All submissions must be original, not under consideration elsewhere, and undergo double-blind peer review to ensure quality, objectivity, and ethical standards.
