About the Journal

Samyak: An Undergraduate Journal of Jain Studies is a peer-reviewed and open-access journal published by the Jain Studies Program at the University of North Texas. Through research and engagement, we seek to promote the values of generosity, pluralism, and compassion for all sentient beings. 

Samyak accepts submissions on a rolling basis from undergraduate college students and advanced high school students in any areas related to the study of Jainism. We encourage proposals for themed issues, book reviews, and other special features. Please see the submissions guidelines or contact the managing editor for more information.

Our program at UNT is made possible with funding from the Jain Education and Research Foundation and the continued support of the Jain Society of North Texas and the UNT Department of Philosophy and Religion.
