Periphery Quest: An International Interdisciplinary Journal is a scholarly platform dedicated to examining ideas, debates, and experiences that exist beyond dominant academic centres. The journal recognises that some of the most meaningful intellectual contributions emerge from peripheral spaces—geographical, social, cultural, and conceptual—where conventional frameworks are questioned and re-imagined.
The journal is interdisciplinary in nature and provides space for scholars to navigate across the social sciences, humanities, policy studies, security studies, and related fields. Rather than limiting inquiry to a single discipline, Periphery Quest encourages research that connects perspectives, methods, and contexts to better understand complex global and local realities.
Periphery Quest aims to support thoughtful, ethical, and original scholarship that contributes to critical knowledge production. The journal values clarity of argument, methodological soundness, and relevance to contemporary academic and societal concerns. Contributions may be theoretical, empirical, or analytical, provided they demonstrate academic rigour and intellectual honesty.
Published using the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform, the journal follows a structured and transparent editorial workflow. All submissions undergo a peer-review process designed to help authors navigate scholarly standards while strengthening the quality of their work. The journal is committed to academic integrity, editorial independence, and respectful engagement with diverse viewpoints.
As an international journal, Periphery Quest welcomes contributions from scholars across regions, institutions, and career stages. We invite authors, reviewers, and readers to navigate this space as part of a shared effort to broaden academic conversations and deepen interdisciplinary understanding..
