Best Social Sciences and Humanities Journals

Positioning within the ranking is determined based on a unique bibliometric score, specifically devised by Research.com. This score is computed by integrating the estimated h-index of each journal with the number of leading scientists who have officially endorsed the journal over the three most recent years. The bibliometric approach ensures objectivity and reflects the impact and esteem of each journal within the scholarly community.

The ranking incorporates the most recent Impact Score values, gathered on November 27, 2024, to ensure that the presented data reflects the current standing of each journal. The rigorous selection and ranking process involved the detailed examination of more than 1,373 journals. These journals were chosen following a thorough inspection and comprehensive analysis of 127,753 scientific documents that were published in the last three years by 27,036 preeminent and widely respected scientists in Social Sciences and Humanities.
