AfBridge Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies
A publication platform for scholarship engaging questions across theology, business, technology, health and related fields.
Publisher: AfBridge Institute for Innovative Studies.
Its purpose is to encourage rigorous inquiry that takes African realities seriously and contributes to wider academic conversations. Interdisciplinary work should explain why more than one field is needed to understand a question. It should engage the concepts and methods it uses carefully, rather than simply placing different subjects beside one another.
The Journal publishes papers developed from the Association's annual conference through its editorial process, and may welcome other submissions according to approved editorial policy. Conference participation does not guarantee publication; every manuscript must meet the journal's applicable editorial requirements, and the editorial team makes decisions independently of membership, registration payments or sponsorship.
For Authors
Before submitting, read the aims and scope, author guidelines, review policy, publication ethics and any fee information. Submit original work, acknowledge sources and explain the research approach clearly. Disclose relevant funding and conflicts of interest and follow the requirements for ethical approval and consent where applicable.
Authors remain responsible for the accuracy of their manuscripts. Where artificial intelligence or other digital assistance has been used, any disclosure must follow the journal's approved policy. A tool cannot take responsibility for authorship or the integrity of a paper.
Fee position: no manuscript charges are currently in effect. This statement will be updated, with an explicit statement either way, once the editorial team approves a fee policy.
Referencing Requirements
The Journal uses a discipline-specific referencing policy. Theology manuscripts must follow the Harvard Colon Variant. Manuscripts in all other disciplines must follow APA 7. The chosen style must be used consistently in both in-text citations and the reference list. Interdisciplinary manuscripts follow APA 7 unless classified by the editorial team as Theology submissions.
Authors should ensure that cited works are real and verifiable and that page references are accurate where required. Manuscripts should engage sources critically and acknowledge the evidence and ideas on which their argument relies.
Downloadable referencing guides for APA 7 and the Harvard Colon Variant will be published once the editorial team approves the full local Harvard guide.
