The Journal of Mythology is a new peer-reviewed academic publication launched by the International Society of Mythology, dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary scholarship in mythological studies across cultures and interpretive frameworks. The journal welcomes contributions from researchers at all career stages and backgrounds, employing a blind peer review process that evaluates submissions based solely on scholarly merit rather than institutional affiliation or membership status. Its inaugural issue focuses on "Mythic Imagination," exploring how mythology functions as a living force that shapes contemporary thought, creativity, and perception, with topics ranging from narrative retellings and symbolic systems to speculative mythologies and cross-cultural translation. The journal aims to bridge rigorous academic scholarship with inclusive, interdisciplinary approaches that honor both traditional mythological frameworks and modern methodological innovations.
