IJSHC addresses multidisciplinary research/practice on computing approaches to the agendas of humanity and society, providing an outlet for an emerging discipline converging from high-tech technologies, intelligent systems and human-sensitive, context-aware experiences. 'Social and humanistic computing' stands for holistic approaches to human/social-centric design of pervasive, ubiquitous systems, providing/supporting a new era of human/social experience going beyond traditional perceptions of the interaction of humans with IT/IS, exploiting social/humanistic research for the provision of high-tech services and human-centric systems promoting social sustainability development.

Objectives
The statement above provides the key differentiation of our journal from others and its unique value proposition. IJSHC diffuses knowledge in horizontal and vertical pillars
- On the one hand, we aim to investigate the social and humanistic computing issues in different contexts as illustrated by the human activities eg: living, science, health, culture, education, knowledge, learning, commerce, business, education, construction, etc.
- On the other hand we promote in horizontal lines the different views of social computing by supporting a scientific debate with the participation of the industry for the new kinds of human- and social-centric systems.
Readership
IJSHC aims to establish value-adding knowledge transfer and personal development channels in three distinctive areas: Academia, Industry and Government, which summarise the three pillars where a new scientific publication can play a significant role.
Contents
IJSHC publishes original research papers providing significant results, and also short communications about innovative ideas and news, announcements and reviews regarding the topics of the journal.
