Journal of Social Science Education

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Social Science Education (JSSE) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal which publishes high-quality articles on teaching and learning in the interdisciplinary field of social science education. Published since 2002, the JSSE is a quarterly publication with thematic issues and runs a permanent open call. In addition to its focus on original research papers, the JSSE welcomes other contributions, including research notes, essays, reports about debates and developments, country studies, conference reports, case studies or lesson reports, reviews, and review essays.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.

Source: OpenAlex · Each year’s green bar = citations earned by that year’s papers, counted to date — so recent years look lower simply because their papers haven’t had time to be cited yet.
