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 gender equality (SDG 5) in the linguistic point of view, language equity (SDG 10), and critical discourse analysis combating misinformation of ecolinguistics (SDG 13). Literature includes narratives addressing climate justice (SDG 13), decolonial/Indigenous literatures (SDG 16), and digital humanities preserving cultural heritage (SDG 11). Cultural Research explores media literacy in "post-truth" societies (SDG 16), sustainable cultural practices (SDG 11), and cross-border dialogues (SDG 17), emphasizing socio-cultural impact.

NOTION distinguishes itself by mandating SDGs alignment across all published work that is uniquely bridging theory and praxis. Unlike journals focused on disciplinary silos or Eurocentric frameworks, we foreground Indonesian/Global Asian 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: Journal of Linguistics, Literature, and Culture as a catalyst for equitable change in academia and society.
