About the Journal

Zeitgeist: An Interdisciplinary Journal in Humanities and Social Sciences is conceived as a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to publishing original, high-quality research across a broad spectrum of disciplines within the humanities and social sciences. It shall function as a scholarly initiative under the academic stewardship of Bahona College, Jorhat, Assam, with the express aim of promoting rigorous and socially relevant knowledge production, particularly from and about the Global South.

The journal shall operate under a gold open-access model, which ensures that all published content is made freely available to readers worldwide without any subscription fee or paywall barrier. In furtherance of its commitment to fostering inclusive scholarship and mitigating barriers to participation for researchers affiliated with under-resourced institutions, Zeitgeist shall levy a nominal article processing fee of Rs. 500/- per submission. The entirety of the amount collected shall be allocated exclusively towards the maintenance and operational requirements of the journal. This non-commercial framework underscores the journal’s enduring commitment to the principles of open knowledge dissemination, intellectual equity, and academic justice.
