Welcome to GADING Journal for the Social Sciences
GADING Journal for the Social Sciences (GJSS), formerly known as GADING Business Management Journal, publishes original, peer-reviewed research that advances scholarship across the social sciences. welcomes contributions that strengthen theoretical understanding and provide robust empirical insights. It does not consider purely conceptual papers lacking clear contribution to the field, descriptive country reports, consultancy-style analyses, or purely managerial commentary without theoretical or empirical grounding.
GJSS prioritises studies that:
- develop or extend relevant theories
- employ rigorous quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method approaches
- offer comparative or cross-national analyses
- provide generalisable insights beyond single-country contexts
- advance scholarly debate on the issues examined
GJSS publishes biannually in April (Issue No 1) and October (Issue No 2). Submission and publication are currently free of charge for Volume 29 (Issue No. 2). Manuscripts submitted from 1/9/2026 (Volume 30, Issue No. 1) will be subject an article processing charge (APC) of RM150 for each accepted manuscript. There are no submission charges, no charges for rejected papers, and no surcharges based on article length, number of figures, or supplementary data.
Submission is open throughout the year and will go through a double-blind peer review process. We also welcome publication for Special Issues. Please submit proposals to the Chief Editor.
