About Journaliss
About the journal
The Journal of Indigenous and Shamanic Studies (JISS) is an interdisciplinary publication of the Institute for Indigenous Intelligence dedicated to the generation and dissemination of rigorous scholarly research on ancient and modern science. The journal emphasizes alternative paradigms and encourages scholarship that accounts for the variety of experiences accommodated by planet earth.
JISS is a no-nonsense periodical with great and powerful editorial protocols, intuitive readership and firm scholarship and galactic reach. The journal provides avenues for connecting the dots between the known and the unknown, seen and the unseen, inner and outer, and the above and below dimensions.
For readers and contributors who are interested in mind mending ideas and conscious knowledge, this is the periodical for transmission. For scholars armed with knowledge that transcends conventional reality, this is the vehicle for expression. For intelligent beings operating from the sacred neutral point, whatever the topic or subject or discipline, this is the journal for manifestation.
Published under the auspices of Porthologos Press, JISS addresses itself to the plant people, the stone tribes, the creepy crawlers, the winged ones, the finned and shelled clans, and the two-legged family.
As the voice of native culture, art and mystery, JISS creates a unique blend for raising frequencies and vibrations, transcending the time-space duality, and uniting the manifest with the unmanifest.
Scope
The journal is multidisciplinary and covers the knowledge and significant contributions of all indigenous societies throughout the world. JISS publishes first hand lived experiences and delves into non-traditional and non-conventional academic and practitioner topics of research. The periodical addresses itself to the plant people, the stone tribes, the creepy crawlers, the winged, finned and shelled clans, and the two-legged family.

Correspondence and all forms of published correction may also be peer-reviewed at the discretion of the editors. Final responsibility for the selection and acceptance of articles rests with the Editors.

Reviewer selection is critical to the publication process, and we base our choice on many factors, including but not limited to expertise, reputation, specific recommendations and our own previous experience of a reviewer's characteristics.
In general, to be acceptable, a paper should represent an advance in understanding likely to influence thinking in the construction and built environment industry, with strong evidence for their conclusions. There should be a discernible reason why the work deserves the visibility of publication in the JISS.
