Society faces many significant challenges nowadays: pollution, poverty, pain, terrorism, crime, greenhouse effect, war, disease, starvation, road accidents, inflation/deflation, unemployment, pornography, great suffering, ignorance, pesticide poisoning, and falsehood, to just name a few. It could be argued that scientists have spent too much time on many not-so-urgent issues and put too little effort into these challenges at the present time. Some researchers have veered from the main stream of our society.
IJSSS eliminates the following "six barriers":
- the barrier between social and natural sciences
- the barrier between theory and applications
- the barrier between hard decision models and soft ones
- the barrier between different disciplines in the business world
- the barrier between government and industry
- the barrier between the ivory tower and real society
When barriers exist, it is less likely that the various areas involved will serve one another properly. There is an urgent need to integrate all segments of society into one single productive system.
 Objectives
The objectives of IJSSS are to call for attention to the interdisciplinary principles, architectures, techniques, methodologies, models, as well as the appropriate strategies, that can solve the various society-related dilemmas. Social scientists and natural scientists might work together to promote synergy. Theory and application can be integrated. Hard and soft decision models could be interchanged. Different disciplines in the business world should be integrated. Government and industry should be incorporated. Scientists in the ivory tower must face the real challenges in the whole society. When one part of the society offers its service to the other, most likely both parties will benefit. Only in this way can the talents and the resources from different areas be fully utilised for the benefits of the entire society. Readership
IJSSS presents a forum to help policy makers, researchers, and professionals to exchange their innovative ideas and thought-provoking opinions. It also creates a communication channel between practitioners and academics to discuss problems, challenges and opportunities in all aspects of our society. Contents
