Focus and Scope
What MDJ aims to publish, the disciplines it covers, and the manuscript types it considers.
01Aims and Objectives
Multi Discere Journal (MDJ) is a multidisciplinary outlet for original research and critical scholarly reviews. Its objective is to disseminate reliable findings, theoretical explanations, methodological developments, and evidence-informed implications that advance academic knowledge or its responsible application.
Research from a local setting may be relevant when it is framed by a clear scholarly problem, engages with appropriate literature, applies rigorous methods, and explains the significance of its findings beyond a mere description of activities or conditions.

03Manuscript Types
Original Research Article

Review Article
Critically synthesizes an identifiable body of scholarship using a transparent search, selection and/or analytical approach appropriate to the review type, and establishes a substantive contribution.
The eligible submission categories are Original Research Article and Article Review, as identified in MDJ’s public journal description and submission sections. Additional types, such as commentary or short communications, should be advertised only if they are formally approved by the Editorial Board and configured as article sections in OJS.
04Editorial Fit and Assessment
- The submission addresses a specific research question, theoretical problem, or synthesis objective.
- The manuscript explains its original contribution to a recognisable academic field.
- The study or review design, sampling/search strategy, analysis and supporting evidence are sufficiently transparent.
- The conclusions reflect the strength and limits of the evidence, and discussion engages with relevant scholarship.
- The work complies with authorship, research ethics, originality, conflict-of-interest and reporting requirements.
- Topics that are primarily promotional, purely anecdotal, or unrelated to a recognisable scholarly question may be declined without external peer review.
