Our purpose
A shared space for thoughtful inquiry
Chanakya Journal for Advanced Studies is a multidisciplinary journal published by Crestwood Publishers. It provides a forum for original research, critical analysis, and scholarly discussion across the sciences, social sciences, humanities, law, and management.
The journal primarily publishes in English and Hindi, and its guidelines also welcome contributions in other recognised Indian and international languages with an English abstract. Its editorial approach places emphasis on a clear research question, an appropriate method, transparent reasoning, and a meaningful contribution to knowledge.
Research that connects disciplines is especially welcome. Authors should make the significance of their work accessible to readers beyond a single specialist field, while retaining the precision their subject requires.
