Call for Articles

We invite authors to submit articles to the Jurnal Kajian Bali (Journal of Bali Studies).

The Jurnal Kajian Bali is an international peer-reviewed journal that published twice a year, in April and October.

As an area studies journal, it exclusively accepts articles focused on Bali and comparative studies involving Bali and other regions.

The scope of articles that can be published is diverse, including topics such as Balinese culture, politics, music, language and literature, architecture, history, mass media, popular culture, tourism, economy, environment, health, law, management, religion, and Balinese customs.

The journal also welcomes articles that employ comparative approaches, such as studies comparing Balinese performing arts with those from other regions or analyzing tourism in Bali in relation to tourism in other areas.

In evaluating submissions for publication, we consider the following criteria:
• Relevance to our focus and scope
• Adherence to the author guidelines
• Quality of the article
• Academic contributions
• Technical issues (such as excessive typos, redundancy, or failure to cite all referenced authors).

If submissions do not meet these criteria, they may be returned for resubmission or declined immediately.

Authors should regularly check their email or log in to our website to monitor their article's progress or to contact us.

Thank you for considering the Jurnal Kajian Bali as a venue for your work, and we appreciate your support.
