Description

Global Social Science Review (GSSR) was introduced by Humanity Only (HO) through the research project sponsored and guided by Humanity Research Council (HRC) - a sub-body of Humanity Development Council (HDS). GSSR intends to promote qualitative and quantitative researches and findings with the help of newly emerging tools and patterns utilized in experiments, observations, interviews, analysis and surveys by encircling all major segments of Social Sciences and Multi-disciplinary academic and research disciplines. GSSR is a multi-disciplinary, quarterly, double-blind peer-reviewed research journal that encompasses major disciplines of social science, i.e. Government & Politics, Human & Society, Historical & Regional Studies and Education & Mass Studies in general, with a specific interest in the sub-disciplines detailed atwww.gssrjournal.com.

Mission & Vision

GSSR struggles for a future where human development is based on an informed decision-making process. Therefore, the journal challenges the status quo of current academic research that suffers from a disconnect to actual application by finding a solution to the problems confronted by humanity. GSSR intends to become the global leader in introducing innovations where theories connect with the application while maintaining the best features of theoretical and applied aspects.

Objectives & Focus

GSSR promotes:

1.     Advancement of research in all sectors of Social Sciences

2.     High-quality publications in theoretical and empirical researches

3.     Networking of academicians, researchers and professionals encourage different genres in creative and research writing

4.     Enhancement of diversity, multiplicity and variation of the research on society in general

Scope

GSSR covers multi-disciplinary, inter-disciplinary and trans-disciplinary issues and problems of social sciences in its classical sense. Therefore, it welcomes articles covering social sciences, humanities and arts. Therefore, it encompasses most of the sub-disciplines of social science (but not limited to), i.e. Government & Politics, Human & Society, Historical & Regional Studies and Education & Mass Studies in general.

Peer Review:
GSSR manages and evaluates all the research articles, papers and cases by "Double-Blind Peer Review" exclusively. GSSR uses double-blind review, which means that the reviewer, editor and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, editor and vice versa throughout the review process.  

GSSR has a comprehensive process of evaluation as it follows double-blind peer review wherein after preliminary assessment (or Pre-Editorial Review) of an article by the Managing and Assistant Managing Editor(s), the same is reviewed by another internal Committee (known as an Editorial Review Committee) comprising the GSSR Editor, Associate Editor(s)and Assistant Editor(s). However, selected members of the Advisory Board of GSSR covering the subject area of the article are also consulted during the internal review process, and after recommendations of the Editorial Review Committee, the article goes through a cycle of final evaluation i.e. review by relevant National and International peer reviewers.
