Aims & Scope

Social Science Communications (SSC) is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing research in the field of social sciences. Our aim is to provide a platform for high-quality, original research that addresses key social issues affecting individuals, communities, and societies in the modern world. SSC promotes interdisciplinary scholarship, encouraging contributions that bridge the gap between various social science disciplines and offer novel insights into complex global challenges.

   The journal aims to serve as a vital resource for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the social sciences, fostering rigorous academic debate, advancing theoretical understanding, and generating practical solutions to contemporary social problems. The scope of the journal encompasses a wide range of topics within the social sciences, including but not limited to sociology, economics, political science, psychology, anthropology, and social policy.

Key Areas of Focus

The journal seeks to publish innovative research on a variety of topics, including, but not limited to, the following key areas:

Sociology and Social Theory

Research that explores the structure, functioning, and development of societies. Topics may include social inequalities, culture, identity, social movements, and the changing nature of social norms and values. Contributions that examine contemporary theoretical frameworks and their application to real-world issues are particularly welcomed.

Political Science and Governance

Research focusing on political institutions, processes, and behavior at the local, national, and global levels. Topics may include governance structures, political ideologies, policy analysis, electoral behavior, public administration, international relations, and the role of political economy in shaping public policy. Studies on democratization, human rights, and political participation are also highly encouraged.

Economics and Social Development

Research that investigates the intersection of economics and social development, focusing on issues such as poverty, inequality, economic growth, labor markets, and the role of government policies in shaping economic outcomes. Submissions that examine global financial systems, the impact of technology on economic development, and sustainable economic practices are also invited.

Psychology and Human Behavior

Studies that explore the psychological dimensions of human behavior, including cognition, emotion, and social interactions. Topics may include mental health, psychological resilience, human development, behavioral economics, and the psychological factors influencing decision-making. Research that integrates psychological theories with social and cultural contexts is especially encouraged.

Anthropology and Cultural Studies

Research that explores the cultural, historical, and biological aspects of human societies. Topics may include cultural identity, rituals, traditions, and the impact of globalization on cultural practices. Contributions that examine issues of race, ethnicity, migration, and cross-cultural communication are also of interest.

Social Policy and Welfare

Studies that address issues of social welfare, public health, education, and the role of the state in shaping the well-being of its citizens. Submissions may include research on social justice, the role of social institutions, public health policy, and the social implications of emerging issues such as climate change, aging populations, and digital inclusion.

Technology, Society, and Social Change

Research that examines the role of technology in shaping social interactions and societal development. Topics may include the digital divide, the impact of social media, technological innovations, and their implications for privacy, work, education, and public policy. Interdisciplinary studies that explore the relationship between technology and social behavior are encouraged.

Types of Articles

Social Science Communications publishes a variety of article types, including:

 Interdisciplinary Approach

A hallmark of Social Science Communications is its interdisciplinary approach to social science research. We welcome submissions that integrate methods, theories, and insights from multiple disciplines, allowing for a holistic understanding of complex social phenomena. The journal encourages submissions that cross traditional boundaries and explore the interconnectedness of social, economic, political, and psychological factors.

Global Perspective

While Social Science Communications embraces the diversity of social science research across the globe, we are particularly interested in research that offers insights into social issues that transcend national boundaries. We encourage submissions that address global challenges, such as climate change, migration, inequality, public health, and technological disruption. Our goal is to provide a platform for research that can inform both local and global solutions.

Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion

We are committed to publishing research that promotes diversity and inclusion, highlighting marginalized voices, and addressing social issues related to race, gender, class, and ethnicity. The journal aims to provide a space where scholars can engage with critical perspectives that challenge traditional assumptions and promote social justice.
