Interdisciplinary Submissions

AHR encourages interdisciplinary manuscripts that connect two or more of the listed topic areas, provided that the submission remains clearly related to arts and humanities, cultural studies, history, philosophy, literature, language, heritage, architecture, design, musicology, performing arts, visual culture, or related humanistic fields. Studies that combine critical analysis with cultural relevance, creative interpretation, ethical reflection, historical understanding, or interdisciplinary innovation are especially welcome.

Authors should select the topic area that best reflects the main scholarly contribution of their manuscript. Where a paper fits more than one direction, the primary topic should correspond to the central research aim, while secondary relevance may be reflected through the abstract, keywords, and manuscript content.

All submissions are expected to demonstrate a clear research question or analytical objective, appropriate theoretical or methodological framework, reliable sources or evidence, accurate referencing, ethical compliance, and a meaningful contribution to the advancement of knowledge within the journal’s scope.
