About this journal

International Journal of English Literature & Society is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing scholarship across Languages & Literature. We publish original research, critical reviews, and rigorous case studies that make a substantive contribution to knowledge and practice, and that meet the highest standards of methodological transparency and academic integrity. The journal welcomes submissions from established scholars and early-career researchers alike, and actively seeks work that is international in outlook and interdisciplinary in method. We are particularly interested in studies that combine analytical depth with clarity of argument, that engage constructively with existing literature, and that draw out implications for future research, policy, or professional practice. All accepted articles are made freely and permanently available to a global readership. By keeping the barriers to reading and reuse as low as possible, we aim to ensure that the research we publish reaches the widest possible audience and has the greatest possible impact.
