Journal of Studies in Social Sciences and Humanities (JSSSH) is an international, peer-reviewed, and open-access research journal that publishes scientific manuscripts from a selected range of social sciences and humanities. The journal offers an intellectual forum for theoretical and empirical analyses across the boundaries of a specific disciplinary focus, allowing researchers and scholars to pursue an interdisciplinary approach to the creation of new knowledge and solutions to contemporary issues. This online research journal is published tri-annually by the International Educational and Social Sciences Association (IESSA) and is included in the most popular databases in the world. The manuscripts are rapidly peer-reviewed, authors are intimated accordingly, and acceptance to publication is processed at the earliest. A manuscript that demonstrates scientific accuracy and valuable contribution to any of the described fields of social sciences and humanities and meets the acceptable standards of research ethics and scientific rigor will be considered for possible publication.
The JSSSH is published tri-annually since 2024.
