AIMS AND SCOPE OF ETNOREFLIKA

ETNOREFLIKA is a peer-reviewed scientific journal committed to becoming a reputable platform for the exchange of ideas, scholarly discussions, and research findings in the fields of anthropology, social sciences, and humanities. The journal aspires to foster a robust academic tradition and climate that contributes to the advancement of civilization and the upholding of human dignity.

The term Etnoreflika is a deliberate blend of the word ethnos, which underscores the journal’s mission to promote and develop the spirit of multiculturalism in the context of Indonesia’s plural society, and reflika, which signifies a reflective process involving behaviors, ideas, and environmental contexts.

ETNOREFLIKA invites and publishes original theoretical articles, ethnographic research findings, and critical essays that offer constructive solutions to social, cultural, and humanities-related issues. The journal also welcomes contributions that address developmental challenges from an anthropological and sociocultural perspective, as well as reviews of academic textbooks in the fields of anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and broader humanities disciplines.
