Portuguese journal of social sciences
The Portuguese Journal of Social Science is a peer-reviewed cross-disciplinary journal focusing on research about Portuguese society by scholars of any nationality. However, the journal takes a broad view and accepts articles that are not exclusively devoted to the Portuguese case. We particularly welcome comparative studies.
While the journal concentrates on research articles it operates a flexible policy in respect of other types of submission, including book reviews.
