The International Journal of Yezidi Studies welcomes articles which are the result of an original research and make a clear contribution to Yezidi studies in academic fields of the humanities, including:

  • anthropology
  • religion and theology
  • philosophy
  • history
  • philology
  • art and culture
  • tradition
  • economy and political science
  • sociology
  • ethnoreligious issues
  • international issues concerning the Yezidi diaspora.

Furthermore, the journal seeks to complement this range of topics with publications covering questions of migration and forced migration, genocide, conflict, and human rights as well as the public opinion related to these issues. In addition, the journal is devoted to publishing reviews of the latest scholarly books on the religion and culture of the Yezidi people. The journal acknowledges the wide range of opinions held by researchers which are often controversially discussed in academic circles. Scholars of all different schools of thought and with any opinions differing from the ones held by mainstream researchers of Yezidis and Yezidi religion are welcome and encouraged to collaborate.
