De Bijdragen tot de Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde or the Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences of Southeast Asia (BKI) is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal on Southeast Asia.
Abstract
The journal has a strong focus on Indonesia, but welcomes articles from around the region and from a range of disciplines. These include anthropology, history, political science, law, sociology, social geography, development studies, urban studies, literature, socio-linguistics, and economics.
BKI
Articles published in BKI reach out to a broader audience than the one defined by a specific discipline, and highlight the socio-political relevance of the object of study. BKI engages with topical debates in its book reviews, book debates and review essays. We also provide summaries of recently-published Dutch and Indonesian-language books.
History
Established in 1853, BKI has been in publication for over 170 years. This long history has given us a strong commitment to the values of open science and decolonizing knowledge. We live bythese values through publishing articles from a diversity of authors, especially from the Global South, and through publishing Open Access, which is made possible thanks to a generous subvention from the learned society Vereniging KITLV (NL).
Open access
The Article Processing Charge (APC) is waived, and all articles are published in Open Access at no cost to the author.
Web of Science
