Best Social Sciences and Humanities Journals

Journal positions in the ranking are determined by Research.com’s unique bibliometric score, which is meticulously computed based on two primary criteria: the estimated h-index of each journal and the number of leading scientists who have endorsed the journal during the preceding three years. This approach ensures that both scholarly influence and peer recognition are critically assessed, establishing a credible measure of journal excellence.

The ranking encompasses the latest available Impact Score values, gathered as of 2024-11-27, and reflects an extraordinary depth of analysis. The research team examined over 1,373 journals, which were carefully selected following a detailed and rigorous review of over 127,753 scientific documents published in the last three years. The work involved contributions and endorsements from a distinguished cohort of 27,036 leading and well-respected scientists in the Social Sciences and Humanities community.

This ranking stands as a testament to the meticulous methodology and expert insight applied throughout the evaluation process.
