The International Journal of Social World (IJSW) welcomes original scholarly contributions from researchers, academicians, faculty members, doctoral scholars, students, social scientists, and other members of the academic community whose work falls within the journal's aims and scope.

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts presenting original research, scholarly reviews, case studies, short communications, research notes, perspectives, and other appropriate academic contributions relating to society, human behaviour, social relationships, cultural practices, and contemporary social issues.

Before You Submit

Before submitting a manuscript, authors should carefully review the relevant IJSW requirements and confirm that:

Manuscript Types

IJSW considers the following types of scholarly manuscripts:

The word counts above are recommended guidelines rather than automatic rejection thresholds. Manuscripts that are substantially longer may be considered where their length is appropriate and justified by the scholarly content.

Preparing Your Manuscript

Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the IJSW Author Guidelines. Submissions should be clearly organized, appropriately formatted, and written in clear academic language.

Research articles should provide a clear research objective, relevant literature review, appropriate methodology, presentation of findings, critical discussion, and conclusion, as applicable to the study.

Authors conducting empirical or field-based research should describe their research methods, participant selection, data collection procedures, and analytical approaches sufficiently to support scholarly evaluation.

Where the journal's double-blind peer-review process applies, authors should ensure that identifying information is removed from the manuscript and that submitted files are prepared in accordance with the journal's peer-review requirements.

Originality & Similarity

IJSW expects every submitted manuscript to represent original scholarly work.

Submitted manuscripts may undergo similarity checking as part of the editorial screening process. Similarity results are assessed in context and are not treated as an automatic pass-or-fail measure.

Where significant or inappropriate similarity is identified, authors may be asked to revise, clarify, or appropriately attribute the relevant material. Depending on the nature and severity of the issue, the manuscript may be declined in accordance with the journal's policies.

Authorship

All individuals listed as authors should have made appropriate scholarly contributions to the manuscript and should approve the final version submitted to IJSW.

The corresponding author is responsible for coordinating communication with the journal and confirming that all authors agree to the submission.

Authors should also review the Authorship and Contributorship Policy before submission.

Ethical & Responsible Research

Authors are expected to comply with applicable standards of research and publication ethics.

Depending on the nature of the research, authors may be required to provide information regarding:

Research involving human participants, vulnerable populations, personal information, or sensitive social issues should be conducted and reported with appropriate ethical safeguards.

Authors remain responsible for the accuracy, integrity, originality, and ethical presentation of their submitted work.

Submission & Peer Review

Manuscripts submitted to IJSW undergo an initial editorial screening to determine whether they meet the journal's basic requirements and are suitable for further consideration within its social science scope.

Manuscripts that meet the journal's editorial requirements may proceed to external peer review in accordance with the IJSW Peer Review Policy. Where the double-blind review model applies, identifying information is withheld from reviewers and authors in accordance with the applicable procedure.

Authors may be asked to revise their manuscripts in response to editorial or reviewer comments. Where revisions are requested, authors should submit the revised manuscript together with a clear response to the comments received.

The final publication decision is made by the editorial team based on the overall assessment of the manuscript and the applicable journal policies.
