Publication Frequency

Social Science Reports is published biannually, comprising two issues per year. New issues are released in June and December, ensuring timely dissemination of research and alignment with mid-year and year-end academic cycles.

Each issue typically comprises 8–10 full-length research articles, along with up to two invited reviews or policy briefs. Occasionally, we also publish special thematic issues—guest-edited collections that focus on emerging or interdisciplinary topics—outside the regular schedule. Authors are encouraged to plan submissions according to these timelines to ensure their work appears in the desired issue.

This biannual rhythm balances rigorous peer review with timely dissemination, allowing readers to anticipate new contributions at mid-year and year-end, and aligning with academic reporting cycles and conference seasons.
