About the Journal
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). JIDIS disseminates rigorous academic research that investigates how Islam in Indonesia is shaped, mediated, and transformed within digital environments. The journal emphasizes the production, circulation, interpretation, and contestation of Islamic knowledge, authority, identity, and practice across diverse digital platforms, including social media, streaming services, online learning systems, and emerging algorithmic ecosystems. JIDIS seeks to advance critical understanding of the ways digital technologies influence religious expression, reconfigure modes of da‘wah and education, and redefine the boundaries of religious community, belonging, and lived religious experience in contemporary Muslim societies.
The journal pays particular attention to the reconfiguration of religious authority and public piety in digital contexts. It explores how diverse actors—such as scholars, preachers, influencers, youth communities, women’s groups, Islamic institutions, and state or transnational organizations—negotiate Islamic discourse online. It also addresses tensions surrounding orthodoxy, popular religion, political Islam, digital activism, and mediated religious lifestyles, as well as the role of visual, audiovisual, and interactive media in shaping contemporary Islamic imaginaries.
Interdisciplinary in orientation, the journal welcomes empirical and theoretical contributions from Islamic studies, media and communication studies, anthropology, sociology, political science, digital humanities, and related fields. While prioritizing research grounded in the Indonesian context, the journal encourages comparative and transnational perspectives that situate Indonesian digital Islam within broader regional and global networks. Through this focus, the journal aims to advance scholarly understanding of the dynamic intersections between Islam, society, and digital media in the world’s largest Muslim-majority democracy.
