Through its interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary commitment, WSSA offers an alternative to the tendency toward parochial scholarship and provides a means for social scientists, regardless of intellectual persuasion or scholarly enthusiasm, to communicate. To facilitate involvement, the various sections and affiliated groups organize their own conference panels under the general guidance of the Association's President-Elect. The Social Science Journal, the official journal of the WSSA, is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary, quarterly journal. It is dedicated to the promotion of scholarly research. Social science is interpreted in the classical sense and we accept the idea that scholarship appears in a variety of methodological forms.
All articles are refereed.
Theoretical as well as speculative articles are considered as fully as those using extensive statistical analyses. The major concern is the quality of work rather than approach or method. In addition to articles, the journal publishes research notes and book reviews. Issue number four each year is a special issue focusing on a particular theme or area of study.
