The Journal of Folklore (commonly associated with folklore studies journals such as Folklore or Journal of Folklore Research) is an academic publication dedicated to the study of traditional culture, oral narratives, myths, rituals, and cultural expressions of communities worldwide. It focuses on interdisciplinary research that connects anthropology, history, literature, and cultural studies. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research articles, critical essays, field studies, and reviews that explore both historical and contemporary aspects of folklore. The journal plays an important role in documenting intangible cultural heritage, including folk tales, music, customs, festivals, and belief systems. It provides a platform for researchers to analyze how traditions evolve in modern societies and how cultural identity is preserved through storytelling and ritual practices. Scholars from around the world contribute ethnographic and theoretical studies that enhance understanding of human cultural diversity.
