About the Journal
In response to the growing need for rigorous academic platforms dedicated to the production of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences in accordance with precise scholarly standards, Debono Journal of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Legal Studies was established as a peer-reviewed academic forum committed to strengthening serious scientific research, promoting a culture of critical thinking, and supporting studies that contribute to a deeper understanding of human beings, society, and law within their contemporary and evolving contexts. The journal maintains that academic research is not merely an accumulation of knowledge, but a responsible intellectual practice that critically engages with reality, opens new horizons for analysis and interpretation, and contributes to building scholarly awareness capable of addressing social, cultural, and legal transformations at the local, regional, and international levels.
Accordingly, Debono Journal is committed to publishing original research characterized by methodological rigor, analytical depth, and strict adherence to research ethics. It seeks to serve as a bridge for scholarly dialogue among researchers from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the fields of humanities, social sciences, and legal studies, by encouraging interdisciplinary approaches, engaging with diverse intellectual traditions, and embracing the dynamic interaction between theoretical and applied knowledge. The journal also adopts an open-access policy, grounded in its belief in the right of knowledge to circulate freely and in its role in serving the academic and research community without restriction. Published by Al-Thakwāt Foundation for Culture, Thought, and Arts in the city of Najaf, the journal draws inspiration from this rich scientific and cultural environment, and aspires to maintain an active presence in the Arab and international academic landscape in line with global standards of scholarly publishing, thereby reinforcing its credibility as a responsible and effective academic platform.
