About the Journal

Khizanah al-Hikmah is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing research and innovation in Library Science, Information Science, Archival Studies, and Museum Studies. Since its establishment in January 2013, the journal has served as a reputable platform for disseminating research that advances theory, practice, and policy in information and cultural heritage disciplines. In 2024, the journal officially expanded its scope to include Museum Studies, reflecting the growing convergence of libraries, archives, museums, and information institutions.

The journal is committed to publishing original, rigorous, and impactful research in English that fosters scholarly dialogue and interdisciplinary collaboration among academics, researchers, librarians, archivists, museum professionals, and information specialists worldwide. Through research articles, review papers, and other scholarly contributions, Khizanah al-Hikmah promotes the exchange of innovative ideas and emerging perspectives that address contemporary challenges and future directions in the field.

From its inception until 2025, the journal was published biannually, with two issues released in June and December each year. Beginning with Volume 14 (2026), Khizanah al-Hikmah has been published quarterly, with four issues released each year in March, June, September, and December. This change was officially approved by the Indonesian ISSN National Centre and is reflected in the journal's ISSN metadata, where the online edition (e-ISSN 2549-1334) is registered as a quarterly publication. The transition reflects the journal's commitment to accommodating the increasing number of submissions, accelerating scholarly communication, and strengthening its contribution to the international research community in library, information, archival, and museum studies.
