Focus and Scope

NOTION: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Culture (NOTION) advances interdisciplinary research in Linguistics, Literature, and Culture through the lens of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We prioritize actionable scholarship that translates humanistic inquiry into solutions for global challenges, fostering dialogue between scholars, practitioners, and communities. Our mission is to accelerate the dissemination of innovative, socially relevant knowledge while centering perspectives from Indonesia and the Global South as vital contributions to global discourse.

Submissions must engage explicitly with ≥1 SDG target. In Linguistics, we cover language equity (SDG 4, 10), multilingual education (SDG 4), and critical discourse analysis combating misinformation (SDG 16). Literary Studies includes narratives addressing climate justice (SDG 13), decolonial/Indigenous literatures (SDG 4.7), and digital humanities preserving cultural heritage (SDG 11.4). Cultural Research explores media literacy in "post-truth" societies (SDG 16.6), sustainable cultural practices (SDG 11), and cross-border dialogues (SDG 17), emphasizing sociopolitical impact.

NOTION distinguishes itself by mandating SDG alignment across all published work—uniquely bridging theory and praxis. Unlike journals focused on disciplinary silos or Eurocentric frameworks, we foreground Indonesian/Global South epistemologies and require authors to propose actionable pathways for their research. This commitment to interdisciplinary, solution-oriented scholarship—coupled with rigorous double-blind peer review—establishes NOTION as a catalyst for equitable change in academia and society.
