Description

Kotuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online is an international, open-access research journal published for social scientists in tertiary and research institutions and other organisations worldwide. The Maori name Kotuitui means interweaving and reflects the interdisciplinary nature of the journal.

This open access, peer-reviewed journal encourages top-flight social science inquiry and research across all social science disciplines. It also recognises contributions made by the social science research community to other disciplines, including biological and physical sciences, and promotes connections between all research communities.

All articles are freely accessible from the journal website, facilitating the wide distribution of New Zealand social science knowledge, both nationally and internationally.

The journal aims to showcase the increasing number of collaborative research endeavours across the social sciences and become an outlet that will capture lively, empirically based outputs from researchers nationally and internationally.

Call for papers

The Royal Society of New Zealand (RSNZ) is calling for papers for Kotuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online .

The journal encompasses all aspects of the social sciences. This includes contributions from long established fields (like psychology, economics, human geography, sociology, education, political science, anthropology, social work, population studies and history) as well as more recent disciplinary and inter-disciplinary fields such as public policy, development studies, conflict resolution, gender studies, international relations, security studies, human rights, cultural and ethnic studies, ethics, criminology, health, sustainability, communications and media studies.

Authors are invited to submit research papers from all social science disciplines for consideration. Papers should be of high quality that can be expected to attract citations from other researchers, both international and domestic. As well as excellent disciplinary research, we welcome:

  • papers connecting social science research to other disciplines
  • multi- and trans-disciplinary research
  • links between research and public policy
  • research into national and international trends and issues relevant to New Zealand.

The journal is freely available online, facilitating the distribution of New Zealand social science knowledge both nationally and internationally. Papers with likely high impact will be fast-tracked for rapid publication. Page charges of NZ/US$50 apply to all submissions, but New Zealand authors with no funding available for publication will have these charges waived upon application.

Although the journal will predominately highlight research in the New Zealand context, international work is welcome. All papers must be the original work of the author(s), and not under consideration by any other publisher.

Papers should be submitted electronically (as an MS-Word file) via our online submission link. Please ensure you remove all author names from the article for the peer review process. For further information please email kotuitui@rsnz.org
