Publishing Policy – Aims and Scope

International Journal of Sociologies and Anthropologies Science Reviews (IJSASR)
ISSN (Online): 2985-2730

Aims

The International Journal of Sociologies and Anthropologies Science Reviews (IJSASR) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes rigorous, theory-informed, and evidence-based research on contemporary social change. The journal prioritizes scholarship that integrates sociological and anthropological perspectives to explain how institutions, cultures, and human behavior evolve in response to modernization, digital transformation, and development challenges.

IJSASR aims to:

• Publish research with clear theoretical framing and methodological rigor (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods).
• Advance interdisciplinary social science inquiry centered on education, digital society, and community well-being as key arenas of social transformation.
• Encourage comparative and cross-cultural studies that strengthen international scholarly dialogue.
• Promote research with implications for policy, practice, and sustainable development, particularly in the Global South and emerging contexts.

Scope

IJSASR welcomes original research articles, review articles, and scholarly analyses in the following three focused thematic pillars:

1) Education and Human Development in Changing Societies

Research on education as a social institution and driver of human development, including:

• Educational sociology and institutional change in education
• Learning innovation, curriculum development, and assessment
• Technology-enhanced learning and digital education environments
• Student development, learning behavior, and educational equity
• Higher education, vocational education, lifelong learning, and employability

2) Human Behavior, Digital Society, and Social Transformation

Research examining how technology, media, and social structures shape behavior and social change, including:

• Social behavior, decision-making, and digital interaction
• Social media, online communities, and technology adoption
• Digital consumption, consumer culture, and behavioral dynamics
• Social inequality, diversity, migration, and globalization in digital contexts
• Governance, public policy, and institutional responses to social change

3) Culture, Community, and Social Well-Being

Research connecting culture and community life to well-being and sustainable development, including:

• Cultural processes, identity, belief systems, and symbolic practices
• Cultural heritage, community resilience, and local development
• Community studies, participatory research, and social innovation
• Health behavior, physical activity, sport/leisure as social practices
• Quality of life, social well-being, and community-based interventions

Out of Scope

To maintain thematic focus and international indexing readiness, IJSASR generally does not consider manuscripts that are:

• Primarily technical/biomedical sport science (e.g., physiology, biomechanics) without a social science framework
• Purely descriptive local reports lacking theoretical contribution, analytical depth, or methodological rigor
• Manuscripts outside the journal’s three thematic pillars (unless clearly linked to social change and applied social sciences)

Editorial Positioning Statement

IJSASR is positioned as a focused applied social science journal centered on education, digital society, and community well-being, emphasizing sociological and anthropological approaches to understanding contemporary social transformation. The journal prioritizes manuscripts with strong conceptual grounding, transparent methods, and relevance to international audiences.

Guidelines on AI-Generated Content

IJSASR acknowledges the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate information that can be helpful for articles submitted to the journal for prospective publication.   However, the journal also recognizes the need to ensure that AI-generated content is managed sensibly and morally.
This policy describes the journal's guidelines for using AI-generated content in published articles.
1. Definition of AI-generated content
For this policy, any content created or substantially modified by an AI system is referred to as AI-generated content. This includes both content created wholly by an AI system and content authored by a human author that has undergone substantial AI system alteration.
2. Principles
IJSASR will only publish AI-generated content that complies with the following rules:
* The AI system that produced the content cannot be recognized as one of the authors when it is submitted for potential publication.
* The AI system used to generate the content must be properly described in the article.
* The human author's contribution to the content must be acknowledged.
* The AI-generated content must be original and not plagiarized.
* The AI-generated content must be accurate and reliable.
* The AI-generated content must not mislead or deceive readers.
3. Procedure
Authors who wish to submit articles with AI-generated content must provide IJSASR with the following information:
* A detailed description of the AI system used to generate the content.
* A copy of the original input data used to generate the content.
* A copy of the AI-generated content.
* A statement acknowledging the human author's contribution to the content.
IJSASR will evaluate the AI-generated content and decide if it is suitable for publication.
4. Enforcement
IJSASR reserves the right to reject or retract any article that does not comply with this policy.

Article Retraction Policy
An article that has previously been published gets retracted when it is taken out of a journal. The editor and/or editorial board of the journal may decide on this. Small editorial mistakes don't lead to retractions. In this instance, an article would be updated. Retractions reveal more significant problems with a piece of writing. Retractions may occur because of
- Errors in the research
- Issues with the reproducibility of the research
- Plagiarism
- Falsification of data or results
- Fabrication of data or results
- Copyright infringement
- Failure to disclose a conflict of interest
- No institutional review board approval for research on human subjects or animals
