MELOW was first set up in 1998 as MELUS-India. It is an academic organization, among the foremost of its kind in India. The members are college and university teachers, scholars and critics interested in literature, particularly in world literatures, and literature across borders of time and space. The organization meets at least once every year over an international conference. It seeks to maintain academic standards, encourages younger scholars and provides a forum for senior scholars in literature. The MELOW journal has existed in hard print for about a decade.
MEJO: The MELOW Journal of World Literature currently prints peer-reviewed articles online in an open-access format. MEJO follows the double-blind peer-review process.
The journal aims at publishing innovative contributions that advance research and study in literature, humanities, social sciences and other related fields.
The journal thus publishes articles in literature, extending to transdisciplinary areas of humanities, social sciences, cultural studies, multi-ethnic literary studies, translation studies, etc. It also publishes articles that apply to transnational and diasporic scholarship. Papers in areas of contemporary issues such as those related to digital humanities, ecocriticism, and innovative research methods are encouraged.
