IAC International Journal of Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Research
Print ISSN: | Online ISSN:
The IAC International Journal of Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Research (IIJMIR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published by IAC Academy Limited. IIJMIR is dedicated to advancing knowledge across disciplinary boundaries by providing a rigorous academic platform for original research that integrates perspectives, theories, methodologies, and evidence from multiple fields of inquiry. The journal recognises that the most pressing intellectual challenges of the contemporary world, from economic inequality and environmental sustainability to digital transformation and public health governance, cannot be adequately addressed within the boundaries of any single academic discipline. IIJMIR therefore actively encourages and prioritises research that crosses conventional disciplinary lines, fostering dialogue between the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, applied sciences, and professional fields.
IIJMIR publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, conceptual papers, and evidence-based policy analyses that meet the highest standards of scholarly rigour. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review process conducted by subject-matter experts drawn from an international editorial board spanning more than twenty countries. The journal is committed to representing the diversity of global scholarly production, with a particular emphasis on amplifying high-quality research originating from African, Asian, Latin American, and other emerging economy contexts that are frequently under-represented in international academic publishing.
IIJMIR is committed to full compliance with the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines, the FAIR data principles, and open science best practices. The journal publishes continuously throughout the year with quarterly consolidated issues, ensuring timely dissemination of accepted research to the broadest possible audience of scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and civil society stakeholders.
OBJECTIVES
The IAC International Journal of Multidisciplinary and Interdisciplinary Research pursues the following core objectives:
1. Advancing Cross-Disciplinary Scholarship. To provide a dedicated peer-reviewed platform for original research that integrates theories, methods, and evidence from two or more academic disciplines, contributing to the development of genuinely interdisciplinary knowledge frameworks that transcend the limitations of single-discipline inquiry.
2. Promoting Research Rigour and Methodological Innovation. To uphold the highest standards of scholarly rigour in empirical, theoretical, and methodological research, and to actively encourage methodological pluralism and innovation, including mixed-methods designs, computational approaches, comparative analysis, and participatory research frameworks.
3. Amplifying Emerging Economy Research. To provide a high-quality international publication outlet for scholars based in African, Asian, Latin American, and other emerging economy contexts, thereby contributing to a more geographically and epistemologically diverse global knowledge base.
4. Bridging Scholarship and Policy. To facilitate the translation of rigorous multidisciplinary research into evidence-based policy recommendations and professional practice improvements, ensuring that academic knowledge contributes meaningfully to the resolution of real-world problems.
5. Fostering Open Science and Knowledge Accessibility. To advance open-access principles by making all published research freely available to scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and the general public globally, removing financial and institutional barriers to knowledge access.
6. Building International Research Networks. To serve as a platform for connecting researchers across countries, institutions, and disciplines, fostering collaborative international research partnerships that strengthen the global academic community.
7. Maintaining Publication Ethics. To uphold and promote the highest standards of publication ethics, including transparency, integrity, accountability, and respect for intellectual property, in full compliance with COPE guidelines.
