Focus and Scope

Journal Albion : Journal of English Literature, Language, and Culture is a peer-reviewed publication that welcomes original research employing diverse qualitative and quantitative approaches in the fields of English Literature, Linguistics, Cultural Studies, and Translation Studies.

The journal takes its name from Albion, the ancient poetic name for Britain, reimagined not as a singular center of English language and culture, but as a symbol of movement, insularity, and interconnectedness. As a journal, Albion also signifies journeying, recording, and intellectual passage; a space where ideas, languages, and cultures meet across boundaries.

Anchored in the humanities and social sciences, Journal Albion encourages scholarship that explores insularities and crossings: how English and its cultural forms travel, transform, and are reinterpreted across global contexts. In doing so, the journal seeks to reframe the legacy of “Albion” within the plural archipelagos of world cultures, especially in Southeast Asian, transoceanic, and postcolonial settings.

The journal welcomes interdisciplinary work including, but not limited to:

  1. English Literature: Comparative and postcolonial studies, island and maritime imaginaries, adaptation, and the circulation of British literary traditions in global contexts.
  2. Linguistics: The study of English as a global, contact, or hybrid language; discourse and sociolinguistic research reflecting cultural and regional crossings.
  3. Cultural Studies: Analyses of cultural production, identity, and media through the lenses of archipelagic and transnational theory.
  4. Translation Studies: The politics, poetics, and practices of translating English and its cultural expressions across diverse linguistic and cultural environments.

Peer Review Process

Submitted papers are evaluated by anonymous referees through a double-blind peer review process for their contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation. The Editor will inform authors of the review results as soon as possible, typically within 2–3 months. However, depending on the review process, the duration may take up to 3 months.

Reviewers examine the quality and substance of the manuscript, including its freshness, originality, usefulness, validity of citations, and bibliography. The review process focuses on the academic quality of the manuscript rather than grammar alone. Reviewers receive manuscripts through a double-blind review process from the section editor or editorial secretariat. If the manuscript is outside their field of expertise, reviewers may decline the review invitation and recommend another reviewer with more relevant competence.
