The Journal of International Scholarship (JIS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing evidence-based scholarship that advances cumulative knowledge across the sciences and applied disciplines. JIS welcomes high-quality research from researchers worldwide and provides a forum where methodological rigor, transparency, and scholarly contribution take precedence over disciplinary boundaries.

The journal publishes research that is grounded in systematic inquiry and supported by evidence. We welcome both exploratory and confirmatory investigations, provided conclusions are appropriately supported by the data and existing literature.
