More on this journal...
ObjectivesSustainability is usually associated with ecological and political economics, as well as social and economic development: the associated consequences on national and global levels and the related trade-off and compromises between social, environmental and economic benefits. Furthermore, "society systems science" or "society science", as we have termed it, is the interface of natural science and social science, where both natural scientists and social scientists confront the real-world problems and challenges that exist in our society, and work towards formulating effective solutions.
IJSSoc aims to provide a professional forum for formulating, discussing and disseminating these solutions, which relate to the design, development, deployment, management, measurement, and adjustment of these social networks. They should form a common ground on which a sustainable society can be built, shared and supported by professionals from different disciplines. The universal goal of achieving peace, prosperity, and harmony in our society should go beyond disciplines, and ultimately be coordinated across different nationalities, cultures, races, and religions, and be sustainable.
ReadershipIJSSoc presents a forum to help policy makers, planners, researchers, educators, students, citizens, and professionals 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. ContentsIJSSoc publishes research papers, innovative ideas, reviews, surveys, debates, reports, case studies, position notes, practice comments, book reviews, commentaries, and news. Special Issues devoted to important topics in sustainable society management will occasionally be published. Hide |  Browse issues
