The Development of Humanities and Social Sciences (DHSS) is a fully open-access online journal that publishes research from across—and between—all areas of the humanities, behavioral, and social sciences. All submissions undergo a rigorous double-blind peer review process.
Our scope is inclusive and is open to theoretical, methodological, quantitative and qualitative scholarship that makes a contribution to the literature. We particularly welcome research that speaks to emerging areas of thinking, agenda-setting issues, or grand societal challenge—irrespective of the field of study.
We encourage the submission of interdisciplinary perspectives where there is a clear relevance to the advancement of the humanities, or behavioural or social sciences. This includes research arising in, or informed by, the physical, life, clinical and environmental sciences, for instance: medical humanities, digital humanities, environmental sociology, and complex network studies.
Scholarship that reflects on, or seeks to inform, policymaking of all types, is also welcomed.
