The journal seeks to raise the standard of research through a rigorous peer-review process and focuses on social and cultural topics that are unique, relevant, and have a significant impact on the development of global social sciences. This article discusses the contribution of Nusantara Journal of Social Sciences in expanding the accessibility of Indonesian research, improving the quality of academic publications, and supporting local researchers to compete on the international stage. In addition, it also explains the various strategies used by this journal to strengthen global research networks, build cross-country collaborations, and elevate the uniqueness of Indonesian culture and social dynamics into the international academic realm. Through these efforts, Nusantara Journal of Social Sciences has succeeded in positioning itself as a strategic scientific journal in promoting Indonesian social studies in the world.
