The Journal of Archdisciplinary Studies (JAS)

We’re excited to launch our Open Access journal entitled Journal of Archdisciplinary Studies. JAS is a new peer reviewed academic journal that publishes informational, theoretical, and applied research in the space where theories of everything converge. We accept the following types of submissions:

  • Hypothetical frameworks: Hypothetical concepts and frameworks are acceptable in this journal insofar as authors provide good preliminary evidence and reasoning, and the authors clearly specify in their manuscript that their work is hypothetical in nature.

  • Theoretical frameworks: Unification metatheoretical and archtheoretical frameworks are works that have sufficient evidence and include a methodological explanation in which the framework is derived, often accompanied by quantitative and/or qualitative data sets.

  • Historical and contemporary analyses: Works that trace big picture ideas and frameworks through history, or/and show common denominators – arches – across their meta.

  • Applied research: Applied research reports must implement one or more big picture frameworks and must include qualitative and/or quantitative data. Applied research that falls outside these boundaries may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

  • Reviews & open letters: Reviews include summaries and opinions on books, literature, or other media. Open letters aimed to address a topic or ask questions to a community or the general public are also considered.

  • Creative works: Creative works can be both literary and artistic. This includes poetry, art, short stories, opinion pieces, or any other creative work that expresses metamodern or/and archmodern sensibilities.

Submission Timeline

The call for papers for the first issue ran until January 6, 2024.

Anyone can submit work for publication at any time, and we may occasionally release a pre-issue version of certain works to feature between journal issues.
