LLIDS works upon four principles: Global and Inclusive Scholarship Opening scholarly discourse beyond academia Mentorship Providing Resources Global and Inclusive Scholarship LLIDS works in the field of Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies, to create an equitable ecosystem for research that brings together the diversities of scholarship from varied geographies, and to engage with all levels of scholarship. Opening scholarly discourse beyond academia Acknowledging the rigorous nature of research work which lends itself to a niche scholarly audience and at times tends to be abstruse and theoretical, we introduced the Forum section in the journal in 2023. The form of the Forum allows for a more immediate exploration of how research influences and is influenced by one’s particular experiences and positionalities, encouraging scholars to tease out the intricacies of theory and lived experience. It is conceived to unravel how research, the researcher’s life, and their pedagogy shape each other, by inviting a more intimate and self-reflective stance. Mentorship Instead of only focusing on the end result, which would be the publication, the editorial team emphasizes on engagement with scholars to better their research through multiple rigorous editorial review rounds. Publishing Internship Programme – In order to give an insight into the workings of an Open Access publication and keeping with our principle of mentorship, we have been hosting a Publishing Internship Programme since our inception. Talk Series – We recently started an annual Talk Series for undergraduate and graduate scholars, with the first two-part talk titled, “Why, How, and Where to Publish Your Research?” Providing Resources Project Knowledge – The journal expanded to include another project during COVID-19 called Project Knowledge, which catalogues OA resources from around the world. At present it holds over 250 permanent resources in its database while all time-sensitive events such as conferences, lectures, webinars, etc., are posted on our social media. SCOPE – We are working on another database named SCOPE (Scholarly Conferences, Opportunities, Programmes, and Events) which would catalogue recurring scholarly events, fellowships, summer schools and other OA resources for scholars. Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies (LLIDS) Publications LLIDS publishes original and unpublished research work spanning the fields of Humanities and Interdisciplinary Studies.
