Gadaa Journal is an open access, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary bilingual journal (online and print version) published biannually by the Institute of Oromoo Studies (IOS) at Jimma University. It is a double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access refereed journal aspiring to have brand value among the world’s multidisciplinary journals. Authors are requested to write their papers and reports in a manner and style that is intelligible to specialists and non-specialists alike.

The journal publishes original, multidisciplinary, scientific (theoretical and empirical) research in all fields of studies focusing on Oromoo and accepts articles that address aspects of the totality of Oromoo life in space and time. This includes multidisciplinary research works pertinent to, but not limited to, Oromoo language, culture, philosophy, history, folklore, literature, arts, humanities, indigenous life systems and practices, environment, administrative and governance systems, economy, education, and science and technology. The forms of contributions the journal entertains include original research, review articles, book reviews, and short communications. These contributions should pass through the peer review process to be published in the journal.

The aim of the journal is to create a platform for the research community to share their scientific findings, insights, and views on the diverse aspects of Oromoo studies. Through disseminating the scientific studies, the journal aims to provide inputs for policymakers and end users.
