Aims & Scope

Humanities & Social Sciences Communications is a fully open access journal publishing scholarship from across all areas of the humanities, social and behavioural sciences. We encourage the submission of research outputs arising in specific disciplines, or from inter-disciplinary engagement. We aspire to be the definitive peer-reviewed outlet for open access research in and between fields within our scope. We additionally welcome interdisciplinary scholarship, including that arising in, or informed by, the physical, life, clinical and environmental sciences, if it makes a contribution to the advancement of the humanities or social sciences. We also welcome research that seeks to inform policymaking of all types.
