The Journal of the Institute of History and Philology mainly publishes long academic papers in the fields of history, linguistics, archaeology, anthropology, and philology, covering a wide range of topics and conducting in-depth research. Among them, the language research section is particularly prominent, focusing on the study of Chinese history, dialect investigation and research, and investigation and research of minority languages. It has made important contributions to the study of ancient Chinese phonetics, exegesis, and writing, as well as the study of modern Chinese dialects. After relocating to Taiwan, the journal continued to carry forward its academic tradition, with an increase in research papers on minority languages, most of which were published in Chinese and a few in English.

The Journal of the Institute of History and Philology not only provides an important platform for scholars to showcase their research results and academic viewpoints, but also advocates for the improvement of research methods and the expansion of research materials, promoting the in-depth development of historical and linguistic research. Until now, it remains an important reference material for academic research on Chinese history, culture, linguistics, and other fields, with high academic value and historical significance.
