Open Access Statement

This is an open access journal that provides free, immediate, and unrestricted online access to all its published content for readers around the world.

Open Access License

This journal provides immediate open access to its content under the Creative Commons BY NC 4.0 license. Authors who publish with this journal retain all copyrights and agree to the terms of the above-mentioned CC BY NC 4.0 license.

Peer review process

The journal follows a double-blind peer review procedure where the reviewers and the authors do not see each other’s names and affiliations.

Acceptable formats for submission include MSWord, WordPerfect, PDF, or HTML. Figures may be submitted in a variety of formats, including Excel, Powerpoint, JPEG, MPEG, TIFF, MAGE, VRML, and Java. However, not all of these formats are accessible to a general audience. In such cases where a format requires an uncommon program or plugin to read the figure, the authors will be asked to supply a set of figures in a format built in to most browsers to supplement the preferred originals (see Freeman's article, JoSS, Volume 1(1), Figures 30-32). Readers will be offered both sets of figures in the published version of the article in case their computer cannot read the preferred figure format. Authors will also be asked to supply any programs that are used to create a figure, such as an original Java program used to create an interactive or animated figure.

Figures may be submitted in a separate file. All figures should be in a format that is as lossless as possible.

Upon acceptance of a manuscript, Authors will be requested to sign Open Access Agreement prior to publication.

To publish in Journal of Social Structure authors are not required to pay article processing charge (APCs) nor submission fees.
