Siksacakr
The Journal of Cambodia Research
សិក្សាចក្រ ទស្សនាវដ្តីកម្ពុជពិច័យ
Founded by CKS Trustee Michel Antelme (INALCO) and sponsored by the Center for Khmer Studies (CKS), Siksacakr: The Journal of Cambodia Research, a peer-reviewed journal (articles are submitted to members of the editorial board and anonymously reviewed by external referees), aims to bridge the worlds of Khmer, Francophone and Anglophone scholarship on Cambodia. Siksacakr stands for the “Wheel of Knowledge”, reflecting the journal’s role in both circulating new scholarship and turning the wheels of access and scholarly communication. Central to Michel Antelme’s vision in founding Siksacakr was the need to promote new scholarship in Khmer, English and French across linguistic, national and disciplinary boundaries.
All articles submitted to Siksacakr in English and French appear both in their primary language, and in Khmer translation. Similary, Khmer articles are translated into either English or French, making new scholarship by Cambodians accessible to students and educators who are not literate in Khmer. Through this unique trilingual format and multidisciplinary emphasis, and the CKS’ broad distribution networks to college and university libraries across Cambodia and overseas, Siksacakr: The Journal of Cambodia Research is making new humanities and social-sciences scholarship on Cambodia, accessible to educators and students at Cambodian institutions of higher learning. Access to Siksacakr is provided free-of-charge at the CKS’ public library in the grounds of Vat Damnak, Siem Reap.
