Journal of Asian Studies: Culture, Language, Art and Communications

Journal of Asian Studies: Culture, Language, Art and Communications, or JAS (2774-5554) published by HAQI Publishing Service, is a leading academic journal dedicated to exploring the dynamic intersections between traditional Asian studies and contemporary socio-technical challenges. It serves as a strategic platform for researchers, academics, and practitioners to disseminate ideas that bridge the traditions of humanities scholarship with the socio-technical challenges of the 21st century.

JAS invites contributions addressing Indigenous data sovereignty and sovereign digital infrastructure as mechanisms for safeguarding local knowledge in the modern era. Discussions on the application of the CARE and OCAP principles to regional data governance; the development of geofenced sovereignty protocols to protect sacred knowledge and digital cultural assets; and the decolonisation of digital infrastructure such as the cloud, AI, and GIS to support local epistemic authority are key areas of ongoing development.

The journal also focuses on algorithmic justice and human rights-based AI governance. Its goal is to understand the ethical, legal, and social effects of automated systems in public administration and education in the Asia-Pacific region. The journal examines algorithmic bias audits in social services and educational settings, mitigates minimal compliance in implementing AI regulations, and analyses the impact of artificial intelligence on democratic values and the protection of vulnerable populations to ensure technology serves humanity, not the other way around.

This journal also explores spatial pedagogy and contextual ecosystem transformation through connectivity technologies that empower cultural identity and language revitalisation. The use of AR, VR, and XR for language revitalisation and the preservation of ancestral narratives; balancing ICT infrastructure investment with culturally and linguistically responsive digital content; and resolving land-use conflicts through transparent spatial data visualisation are increasingly relevant themes in the era of digital transformation.
