Aims and Scope
International Journal of Multidisciplinary Comparative Studies (IJMCS) is a new academic
multidisciplinary journal covering a range of humanities and social sciences subjects.
The main objective of IJMCS is to provide an intellectual platform for international
scholars. IJMCS aims to promote interdisciplinary studies in humanities and social
science and become one of the leading journals in the area. Because of its multi-disciplinary
framework, it covers a large research community in an innovative public peer review
process, thus accessing top-quality papers across disciplines. In addition, the regional
coverage of the journal extends beyond one geographical region and this further enhances
its reach in terms of attracting high-quality contributions. The journal will publish
original research and papers that discuss, analyse or evaluate policies, or those
that disclose relevant gaps in existing research.
IJMC aims to cover all the main areas of human sciences. Inevitably, articles in
different areas of the human sciences are targeted at different audiences. As such,
IJMC aims to attract high-quality articles from the fields of literacy, Linguistics
and Language studies, Education, Sociology, Local Governance and ELT, corporate governance,
criminology, cross-cultural studies, demography, development studies, philosophy,
political science, population Studies, psychology, public administration, sociology,
social welfare, and literature. IJMCS recognises that these subject areas are often
inter-related. This relationship furthers IJMCS’ goal to promote inter-disciplinary
research across regions.
IJMCS is designed as an open access, peer-reviewed and refereed journal published
an academic enterprise group co-hosted by The Literacy Research Development Centre
of the University of Greenwich and the Middlesex University’s Institute for Work
based Learning UK. IJMCS publishes original papers, review papers, conceptual framework,
case studies, empirical research, technical notes, and book reviews. Special Issues
devoted to important topics in humanities and social science will occasionally be
published. IJMCS is published four times a year.
