Abu Dhabi: Mohamed Bin Zayed University for Humanities (MBZUH) has launched three new academic journals that will focus on research studies and developments in Philosophy, Islamic Studies and Applied Linguistics.
The publications, which will be peer-reviewed, are part of the university’s efforts to enhance the position of the Arabic language in research and knowledge production and strengthen its position as an important tool for scholarly pursuits that will have an impact on contemporary issues and offer solutions to society’s challenges.
The journals will publish research in both Arabic and English to reach a wider and more diverse audience locally and internationally. Each journal will have its own specialisation.
Dr. Khalifa Mubarak Al Dhaheri, Chancellor of MBZUH, confirmed that the publications embody the university’s support for the UAE’s education strategy in general and achieving its vision of a knowledge economy.
According to Mr. Al Dhaheri, these journals will also strengthen the university’s position in academic research as a leading global higher education institution that has world-class academic programmes and contributes significantly to the production of knowledge through research and publication as well as academic conferences.”
Published in cooperation with renowned academic publishers Brill Publishing House, the journals can be accessed globally through their digital editions, and the topics in each journal will be SEO-optimised to make them easy for researchers to find and use. The three journals will be published annually in print and electronic formats.
