Journal Submission Guidelines

The STRATI Journal of Sociology and Social Policy is a peer-reviewed, open-access international journal that serves as a platform for cutting-edge research and debate on the interrelationships between society, policy, and structural change. It aims to foster critical understanding of how social institutions, behaviors, identities, inequalities, and power structures shape and are shaped by public policy.

The journal welcomes both empirical and theoretical contributions from sociologists, political scientists, economists, anthropologists, social workers, and interdisciplinary researchers. It particularly encourages submissions that examine pressing contemporary social challenges such as inequality, social justice, migration, aging, gender and sexuality, labor precarity, and welfare reforms—across local, national, and global contexts.

Articles typically range from 6,000 to 8,000 words, accompanied by an abstract not exceeding 200 words. Submissions are subject to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process and must include a plagiarism report. The journal commits to a turnaround time of no more than two months from submission to editorial decision to ensure timely publication and dissemination of relevant research.

The STRATI Journal of Sociology and Social Policy aims to advance theoretical insight and practical knowledge on the evolving dynamics of society and public policy. It emphasizes policy relevance, critical engagement, and the need for inclusive, participatory, and justice-oriented approaches to social development.

The journal covers a wide range of themes, from classical and contemporary sociological theory to empirical studies of social change, institutions, marginalization, and resistance. It addresses the design, implementation, and consequences of social policies related to welfare, health, education, employment, family, environment, housing, and migration. A special emphasis is placed on how policies affect different social groups and contribute to or mitigate structural inequalities.

The journal is especially open to global perspectives, South-South scholarship, and comparative approaches, as well as voices from marginalized or underrepresented communities.
