Author Guidelines

Dev Sanskriti Interdisciplinary International Journal (DSIIJ; Print ISSN: 2279-0578 | eISSN: 2582-4589) is a peer-reviewed, biannual journal publishing original research in indigenous knowledge, interdisciplinary sciences, and allied fields. All submissions are assessed for fit with the journal's aims and scope before being sent for peer review. These guidelines apply specifically to submissions to DSIIJ and should be read alongside the common DSVV Journal Author Guidelines, which govern formatting, referencing, and ethical requirements across all DSVV journals.

Before you submit: Download and use the official DSVV Manuscript Template (English) or DSVV Manuscript Template (Hindi). Submissions not using the template may be returned without review.

1. Scope

DSIIJ publishes interdisciplinary research with a focus on indigenous knowledge systems — particularly those rooted in ancient Indian thought — including but not limited to Yoga, Ayurveda, Indian philosophy, cultural sciences, holistic health, and their intersections with modern disciplines. Submissions from researchers and scholars worldwide are welcome. Manuscripts must align with the journal's aims and scope; submissions outside scope will be desk-rejected.

2. Article Types

DSIIJ accepts the following five types of submissions:

Article Type Description
Original Research Article Reports innovative empirical or theoretical research. Must follow structured IMRaD format. Theoretical articles should mirror the structure of empirical studies.
