Best Social Sciences and Humanities Journals

This ranking is determined by a proprietary bibliometric score developed by Research.com, which leverages both the estimated h-index and the number of leading scientists who have endorsed each journal over the preceding three years. This dual-factor approach ensures a nuanced evaluation of journals, reflecting both academic impact and peer recognition within the scholarly community.

The current edition of the ranking incorporates Impact Score values collected on 2024-11-27. The rigorous assessment process involved a meticulous examination of over 1373 journals. These publications were selected only after comprehensive scrutiny and the detailed analysis of 127,753 scientific documents authored by 27,036 distinguished experts in the Social Sciences and Humanities over the last three years. This depth of evaluation highlights our commitment to accuracy, fairness, and the highest standards of scholarly assessment.
