The Journal of Research in Social Sciences (JRSS) is a double-blind, peer reviewed, and open access journal devoted to research in the social sciences. It is published bi-annually by the Faculty of Social Sciences, National University of Modern Languages, Islamabad. JRSS aims to promote the culture of quality research in the field of social sciences.

The journal encourages scholarly research in social science, fields of sociology, history, political science, international relations, psychology, anthropology, mass media, public policy and governance. Additionally, the journal welcomes contributions from interdisciplinary fields particularly those aspects which intersect with social sciences, such as Information Technology, Engineering, Management, Cyber Security, Artificial Intelligence etc along with other emerging domains which can have implications for understanding human societies and behaviours. The purpose of including the interdisciplinary domain is to bridge the gap between traditional spheres of social sciences and upcoming trends of social sciences for a better understanding of complex local and international phenomena. The journal is constantly striving to achieve excellence by promoting quality research. The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan promoted the journal to ‘CATEGORY, Y’ in 2016 in honor of its efforts and research contribution.
