Indonesian Journal of Development Studies

Focus and Scope

We welcome contributions from all areas of development studies including Economics, Environment, Health, Gender, Education, Culture and Society, Governance and Human Rights, and Conflict and Disaster. However, we require that papers are written in a way that is accessible to our diverse audience of students, scholars, and practitioners. Use of disciplinary jargon is therefore discouraged. Papers that use econometric evidence should do so sparingly and ensure the results are clearly explained for the Journal’s interdisciplinary audience. We also welcome short, insightful articles concerning current development practice, policies or teaching, or which open dialogue on questions raised in earlier issues of the IJDS.

All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and double-anonymous peer review
