Aims and Scope of AQIJ 

 


AQIJ provides an interdisciplinary forum for qualitative methodology and related issues in the human sciences. It publishes original peer-reviewed analyses that individually and collectively establish new Asian research and discourse informed by Asian philosophies, epistemologies, ontologies, cultures, histories, and experiences

 

 


 A Valuable Resource

New theories and interpretations of Asian phenomena and experiences would direct scholars toward both acknowledging and theorizing how Asian values and perceptions would benefit the advancement of Asian qualitative research. In doing so, AQIJ promotes the internationalization of Asian discourse of both methodologies as well as intellectual discourses in different disciplines

 

 


 Comprehensive Coverage

The journal publishes peer-reviewed research articles that focus on qualitative research that

pursues new possibilities in Asian ontological, epistemological, and methodological

perspectives not subsumed under those of the West.
