Focus and Scope

Golden Ratio of Social Science and Education (GRSSE) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing scholarly research in the social sciences and education. The journal provides a platform for rigorous empirical, theoretical, conceptual, and methodological research that contributes to the understanding of individuals, communities, institutions, educational systems, and social processes.

GRSSE welcomes research that examines contemporary social and educational issues across different cultural, institutional, and geographical contexts. The journal particularly values studies that offer clear theoretical or conceptual contributions, methodological rigor, and meaningful implications for education, society, public institutions, and social development.

The journal welcomes quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, comparative, theoretical, conceptual, and evidence-based research, provided that the research design and analytical approach are appropriate to the research question and demonstrate scholarly rigor.

The journal primarily publishes original research articles and may also consider systematic reviews, evidence syntheses, theoretical or conceptual articles, and other scholarly contributions that are appropriate to the journal's scope and editorial policy.

Manuscripts addressing topics outside the journal's stated scope, or studies that do not demonstrate a clear connection to social science or education, will not be considered for peer review.
