Jurnal Selat Melaka (Journal of the Malacca Strait) is a scholarly journal published by the Perhimpunan Ilmuwan Pesisir Selat Melaka (PIPSM) as a strategic academic platform dedicated to developing, documenting, and disseminating scientific studies on the Malacca Strait coastal region as an integrated space of history, civilization, and contemporary dynamics.
The journal adopts an interdisciplinary focus encompassing maritime history, trade and economic studies, Malay–Islamic civilization, coastal politics and governance, law and customary practices, Islamic philanthropy and economics, education, culture, as well as issues of sustainable development and social transformation in the Malacca Strait region. Through this approach, the Journal of the Malacca Strait views the strait not merely as an international trade route, but as a corridor of civilization that has shaped intellectual, religious, and economic networks across Southeast Asia from the classical period to the era of globalization.
As a journal published by a cross-national community of scholars—spanning Indonesia, Malaysia, and the wider Malay world—the Journal of the Malacca Strait promotes critical, research-based, and contextually grounded academic dialogue by integrating local wisdom with global scholarly frameworks. The articles published are expected to enrich academic discourse while offering tangible contributions to policy formulation, the strengthening of Malay cultural identity, and the sustainable development of coastal communities in the Malacca Strait region. With a spirit that is scholarly, collaborative, and future-oriented, the journal serves as an essential reference for academics, researchers, policymakers, and observers of Malay–Islamic maritime civilization—affirming that the Malacca Strait is not merely a passage for ships, but a passage of ideas, values, and civilization.
