Promotion of Research in Contemporary World Literature (RCWL) to Q1 in Scopus
Dear Researchers,
We are pleased to announce that the journal Research in Contemporary World Literature, affiliated with the University of Tehran, has achieved Q1 status in the Scopus evaluation for 2025–2026. We proudly congratulate the Iranian academic community and the large family of the University of Tehran on this scientific achievement.
Research in Contemporary World Literature (RCWL) is a quarterly, double-blind, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes innovative and challenging research on contemporary literature. Originally established in 1994 as the Journal of Foreign Languages and re-named with its expanded focus, RCWL publishes original critical studies in both English and Persian on literatures, literary movements, and cultural contexts of the post-1945 era. Additionally, theoretically informed studies that apply post-1945 critical models to texts from any period will be considered at the discretion of the editor.
Please note that studies that address only pre-1945 literature and that do not directly integrate contemporary theoretical models with the primary text(s) will not be considered for publication.
In particular, RCWL is committed to comparative and interdisciplinary research that offers significant engagement with current debates in the field. This includes, but is not limited to, postcolonialism, posthumanism, Arabic literature, African literature, feminism, disability studies, ecocriticism, studies of migration, and research on underrepresented and marginalized figures and literatures.
