About the Journal

Aims and Scope

The European Journal of Social Science Education and Research (EJSER) is a multidisciplinary, open-access, peer-reviewed journal committed to publishing high-quality original research and scholarly reviews that explore contemporary issues at the intersection of social sciences and education. While the journal places a strong emphasis on educational research, it equally welcomes interdisciplinary studies that address broader social, cultural, and policy-related challenges in today’s globalized world.

EJSER provides a forum for critical analyses, theoretical advances, empirical investigations, and methodological innovations that shed light on how social and educational systems evolve in response to rapidly changing social dynamics. In an era marked by digital transformation, cultural diversity, globalization, and emerging public policy challenges, the journal encourages submissions that explore these complexities from a variety of perspectives—including cultural, psychological, sociological, and educational frameworks.
