Human Social Review (HSR) Now Assigns Crossref DOIs to All Published Articles

The editorial office of Human Social Review (HSR) is pleased to announce a significant milestone in the journal’s commitment to strengthening scholarly publishing standards. All articles published in HSR are now assigned Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) through Crossref, using the official SPIDER Publishing DOI prefix 10.66348.

This development represents an important step in enhancing the credibility, discoverability, and permanence of research published in the journal. A DOI is a unique and permanent digital identifier that ensures scholarly articles can always be reliably located, cited, and accessed across global research platforms. Through Crossref’s international citation-linking infrastructure, research published in HSR benefits from improved citation tracking, stable referencing, and seamless integration with digital libraries, indexing services, and academic databases.

Human Social Review (HSR) is an international, peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research on human behaviour, social systems, and societal transformation. The journal provides a scholarly platform for theoretical, empirical, and applied research that examines complex social dynamics and contemporary societal challenges across diverse cultural and institutional contexts.

HSR welcomes contributions from a wide range of disciplines including sociology, anthropology, political science, psychology, education, development studies, human geography, cultural studies, and interdisciplinary social research. The journal particularly encourages research addressing key themes such as social inequality, migration, governance, digital society, education systems, social innovation, and community resilience.

The introduction of Crossref DOI assignment significantly enhances the scholarly value of publications in HSR. For authors, DOIs ensure permanent recognition of their research contributions and enable reliable citation tracking and academic impact measurement. For reviewers and editors, DOI integration strengthens transparency and integrity within the scholarly communication process. For readers, institutions, and policymakers, it guarantees consistent access to credible and peer-reviewed social science research.

Human Social Review maintains a rigorous double-blind peer review process, ensuring that all submitted manuscripts are evaluated objectively by qualified experts based on originality, methodological rigor, and scholarly contribution. The journal also follows a fully open access publishing model, enabling immediate and unrestricted access to research findings and promoting the global exchange of knowledge.

The integration of Crossref DOI registration reflects HSR’s broader commitment to strengthening academic publishing standards and supporting the international social science research community. As societies continue to evolve in response to technological change, economic transformation, and shifting governance structures, the need for credible, interdisciplinary, and policy-relevant research has never been greater.

The editorial team of Human Social Review warmly invites researchers, social scientists, scholars, reviewers, and editorial professionals from around the world to join the HSR scholarly community. Authors are encouraged to submit their latest research to benefit from international visibility, DOI-based citation linking, and a professional peer-review process.
