Aims & Scope

The Journal of Digital Social Research (JDSR) provides a forum for research within all areas of the social sciences interacting with digital issues. We welcome submissions from neighboring research fields if they are relevant to a social science audience. JDSR's target audience is researchers, academics, professionals and students who are interested in the intersection of social sciences and digital technologies. We prioritize research articles with clearly stated objectives, empirical grounding, and a solid theoretical framework. Sometimes, we also publish essays, book reviews, research overviews, opinion pieces, and legal case commentaries, but please check with the journal before submitting for all of these types of publications.
