Multidisciplinary in scope, SAMAJ combines the approach of established disciplines—history, geography, anthropology, sociology, political science, and economics—and recent fields of investigation (media, environment, and gender studies, for instance). SAMAJ’s editorial project is to question the specificity of South Asia (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) by investigating the social, political, economic and cultural dynamics of its countries and regions within the framework of the methodological and theoretical discussions that prevail in the wider world of social sciences. Through in-depth thematic and comparative studies, SAMAJ seeks to bring out new perspectives on the diverse trajectories of South Asian societies in colonial and post-colonial contexts. Beyond the societies of South Asia in situ, a significant focus of this journal is also on diasporas, both in “home” and “host”-societies.
SAMAJ’s thematic issues offer a collection of articles, often in the form of case studies, probing the guest editors’ hypotheses and highlighting the peculiarities related to different countries and methodologies. These contributions are preceded by a general introduction presenting a “state of the art” on the chosen theme and the main research questions of the issue. Individual research articles are published on an ongoing basis, either through author-initiated submission or upon request by the editorial board. In addition, SAMAJ publishes essays and reviews on significant books published on South Asia in the social sciences, making SAMAJ a relevant site of academic debate. A key element of SAMAJ’s editorial policy is to provide a platform for research in progress by doctoral students. Join the conversation about this journal
Quartiles

SJR
The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from
It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document
This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.
