Contribution to the Field

IJSASR contributes to the advancement of applied sociology, applied anthropology, and interdisciplinary social science by publishing research that connects theory, empirical evidence, and practical implications.

The journal aims to strengthen understanding of how societies transform under conditions of modernization, digitalization, globalization, inequality, and development change. It gives priority to studies that offer:

• Theoretical contribution to sociology, anthropology, or applied social science
• Comparative or cross-cultural insight
• Evidence from Global South or emerging society contexts
• Policy, practice, or community development implications
• Methodological rigor and transparent research design
• Relevance to international scholarly audiences

Out of Scope

To maintain a focused academic identity and support international indexing standards, IJSASR generally does not consider manuscripts that are:

1. Purely technical, biomedical, physiological, or biomechanical studies without a clear sociological, anthropological, or applied social science framework.
2. Descriptive local reports that lack theoretical contribution, analytical depth, methodological rigor, or international relevance.
3. Manuscripts outside the journal’s three thematic areas unless they clearly address social transformation through applied sociology, applied anthropology, or social science perspectives.
4. Articles focused only on local administrative description without comparative, theoretical, cultural, policy, or social development significance.
5. Manuscripts with limited relevance to international readers or without clear contribution to existing scholarship.
6. Papers that rely primarily on non-academic sources or lack engagement with current international literature.

Journal Positioning Statement

IJSASR is positioned as a focused international journal in applied sociology and anthropology that advances knowledge on social transformation in Global South, emerging society, and comparative contexts.

The journal is not a general social science journal. It specifically prioritizes research on education, digital society, cultural transformation, community resilience, and social well-being through sociological, anthropological, and applied social science perspectives.

Priority is given to manuscripts that demonstrate strong conceptual grounding, rigorous methodology, analytical depth, ethical transparency, and relevance to international scholarly communities.
