Aksara is a journal that publishes results of literary studies researches, either Indonesian, local, or foreign literature. All articles in Aksara have passed the reviewing process by peer reviewers and edited by editors. Aksara is published by Balai Bahasa Bali twice a year, June and December.

Aksara was first published in Denpasar in 1991, by Balai Penelitian Bahasa Denpasar. The name of Aksara had undergone the following changes: Aksara (1991—1998), Aksara Jurnal Bahasa dan Sastra (1998—2016), and Aksara (2017). By 2017, Aksara has started to publish in electronic version under the name of Aksara. Since the electronic version should refer to the printed version and following the official document SK 0005.25800353/JI.3.1/SK.ISSN/2017.05 dated May 20th, 2017 stating that ISSN 0854-3283 printed version uses the (only) name of Aksara, in 2017 the electronic version began to use the name Aksara and obtained a new e-ISSN number: 2580-0353. Starting in 2020, Aksara published 12 articles.
