Sohar - Journal of Omani Research and Studies

The journal will provide a platform for scholarly work on Omani culture and heritage as well as the Malaysian language. It aims to serve as a bridge between regional cultures by encouraging comparative studies and collaborative research across disciplines. The journal will not only act as a repository of cultural knowledge but also support the preservation of linguistic diversity and oral traditions. Through peer-reviewed contributions, the journal seeks to elevate the academic discourse surrounding cultural identity, heritage sustainability, and language evolution in both Oman and Malaysia.

By creating a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, the journal aspires to attract contributions from scholars in fields such as anthropology, linguistics, history, Islamic studies, and cultural studies. It will also encourage submissions that reflect contemporary challenges and transformations within traditional societies, including the impact of globalization, technology, and modernization on cultural heritage and language use. This focus ensures the journal remains relevant, dynamic, and responsive to current academic and societal developments.

The journal will also serve as an academic bridge between the Arab and Southeast Asian worlds, fostering greater intellectual exchange and mutual appreciation between Omani and Malaysian scholars. By highlighting both shared values and unique cultural expressions, it aims to deepen understanding and promote dialogue across regions. Ultimately, this initiative contributes to the broader mission of preserving intangible heritage and advancing knowledge rooted in local traditions, while positioning the journal as a key player in regional and international scholarly networks.
