The Journal of Indonesian Digital Islamic Studies (JIDIS) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal published by Zamzami Scholar Publishing (Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia). The journal is dedicated to advancing theoretically informed and empirically grounded scholarship on the intersections of Islam, media, and digital culture. It responds to the rapid transformation of religious life in the digital age, where communication technologies not only mediate but actively reshape the production of knowledge, the formation of authority, and the lived experiences of Muslim communities.

JIDIS approaches digital Islam as a dynamic socio-cultural and epistemic domain in which religious ideas, practices, and identities are continuously produced, circulated, and contested across digital infrastructures. The journal prioritizes analytically rigorous, theory-driven, and methodologically robust research grounded in the social sciences. It is particularly concerned with how digital environments influence the reconfiguration of Islamic knowledge, the emergence of new forms of religious authority, and the negotiation of piety, identity, and belonging in everyday life. By doing so, JIDIS aligns itself with contemporary developments in digital religion and media studies while maintaining a clear empirical and analytical focus.

With Indonesia as its primary locus of inquiry, JIDIS highlights the significance of the world’s largest Muslim-majority democracy as a critical site for understanding global transformations of religion in digitally mediated societies. The journal encourages comparative, regional, and transnational perspectives that connect Indonesian experiences with broader scholarly debates. It publishes original research on key themes such as the mediation of Islamic knowledge and authority, platformized da‘wah and religious pedagogy, digital identity and everyday religious practice, religion and politics in the digital public sphere, and the role of algorithms and platform governance in shaping contemporary Islamic culture.

By integrating rich empirical studies with strong theoretical engagement, JIDIS seeks to establish a distinctive scholarly niche and contribute meaningfully to international academic discourse. The journal welcomes interdisciplinary contributions from Islamic studies, media and communication, anthropology, sociology, political science, and digital humanities, providing a platform for critical inquiry into the evolving relationship between Islam and digital culture in Indonesia and beyond.
