Biira Journal is a scientific journal led by lecturer-researchers from Daniel OUEZZIN-COULIBALY University (UDOC). It is part of an institutional initiative aimed at the production, promotion, and dissemination of scientific knowledge at both national and international levels, by fostering dialogue among diverse disciplines, approaches, and research fields.

The term Biira, derived from Buamu, the language of the Buaba people, means “the Word” or “Speech.” This symbolic choice highlights the central role of scholarly discourse as a space for meaning-making, the confrontation of ideas, and the transmission of knowledge. Through this name, the journal affirms its African cultural roots while positioning itself within an open, pluralistic, and distinctly contemporary academic perspective.

Biira Journal publishes scholarly research in the fields of Literature, Languages, Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, as well as Information and Communication Sciences. It welcomes contributions from disciplines such as linguistics, literary studies, discourse analysis, sociology, anthropology, history, philosophy, cultural and artistic studies, as well as research on media, communication, and contemporary discursive practices. Through this disciplinary openness, the journal seeks to promote cross-cutting approaches, interdisciplinary perspectives, and analyses grounded in diverse social, cultural, and historical contexts, with particular emphasis on African societies and their interactions with other academic spaces.
