The International Journal of Multilingualism is committed to advancing academic progress in the field of multilingual research, covering various dimensions such as psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and education, and delving into the complexities of multilingual acquisition. The journal not only focuses on bilinguals and second language learners but also extends to multilingual users, exploring how they acquire, process, and use multiple languages. Through an interdisciplinary research perspective, the journal encourages scholars from different fields to contribute knowledge and jointly promote a deeper understanding of multilingual phenomena.

The journal particularly emphasizes empirical research and theoretical innovation, encouraging the use of diverse research methods, such as qualitative analysis, quantitative research, and case studies, to reveal language use, language learning strategies, and language policies in multilingual environments. In addition, the IJM also pays attention to the practices and challenges of multilingual education, providing empirical foundations and strategic recommendations for educators and policymakers to facilitate the effective implementation of multilingual education. Through these efforts, the journal aims to enrich academic discussions on multilingualism and provide support for research and practice in related fields.
