JDSR accepts submissions in all fields of social science relating to the digital society, including inter alia: sociology, informatics, pedagogy, education science, gender studies, law, psychology, economy, social work and geography. We welcome and encourage cross-disciplinary submissions.
As digital issues tend to transcend borders JDSR has an international viewpoint and prioritize submissions which are of interest from an international standpoint. National or regional case-studies are of course also of interest but should be put in context and made relevant for international readers. We are supported by a fantastic international editorial board of really great researchers.
JDSR is published solely online and submissions are published as soon as they have completed the review process. We believe that current research needs to reach its audience as fast as a stringent scientific peer-review process and quality control allows. Submissions are published on a rolling basis and consecutively gathered into volumes and issues for ease of identification and referencing. Further assistance and information for authors can be found in the Submission Guidelines.
