The International Journal of Arts, Humanities & Social Science (IJAHSS) is an open-access academic journal published under the umbrella of IPRPD. It is designated with the print ISSN 2693-2547 and online ISSN 2693-2555, and uses the DOI prefix 10.56734/ijahss.
Aims & Scope
IJAHSS aims to provide a platform for high-quality research in a broad array of disciplines within arts, humanities and social sciences. Topics covered include (but are not limited to) anthropology, business studies, communication, corporate governance, criminology, cross-cultural studies, demography, development studies, economics, education, ethics, geography, history, industrial relations, information science, international relations, law, linguistics, library science, media studies, methodology, philosophy, political science, population studies, psychology, public administration, sociology, social welfare, literature, performing arts (music, theatre, dance), religious studies, visual arts, women’s studies, and related fields. The journal emphasises interdisciplinary research, including emerging topics and contemporary trends, and aims to foster cross-cultural understanding and innovation in these fields.
Peer Review and Publication Model
IJAHSS uses a double-blind peer review process to ensure scholarly quality and integrity. That means both reviewers and authors remain anonymous to each other as standard. As an open access publication, the journal allows free and unrestricted access to its published articles worldwide, and intends to make research visible and accessible to as many readers as possible. The journal also offers a digital publication certificate to authors, assigns DOIs to published papers, and claims inclusion in multiple indexing services to enhance visibility and citation potential.
Submission, Charges & Acceptance
Each paper submitted to IJAHSS is subject to an article processing charge (APC). The website lists “Each Paper: $300” for the processing charge. The acceptance rate is reported to be around 74% in some places. The workflow includes submission, peer review, editorial decision, and eventual publication if accepted. Authors are encouraged to carefully adhere to the journal’s manuscript preparation guidelines, review guidelines, copyright & open access policy.
History & Vision (IPRPD)
IJAHSS is part of IPRPD’s initiative to publish high-quality scholarly work and to disseminate knowledge widely. IPRPD was founded on 1 January 2019 with the aim of providing a platform for researchers globally, working to build a network of authors, readers, and institutions in policy development and research dissemination. The institute promotes the idea of “together we can achieve the victory” through sharing knowledge, ideology and wisdom among researchers and readers.
Indexing and Reach
The journal emphasises that after acceptance, papers are submitted to major indexing and abstracting services. For example, the site lists indexing in CrossRef (for DOI assignment), DOAJ, Ulrich’s, J-Gate, Advanced Sciences Index (ASI), ResearchGate, Semantic Scholar, among others. The journal is available in both print and digital formats, and is making efforts to collaborate with global library networks to enhance institutional access in educational settings.
Why Publish with IJAHSS
The website lists benefits for authors: peer-reviewed status, assignment of DOI, open access (which can drive higher citation rates), certificate of publication for authors, inclusion in multiple databases/indexing services, and relatively quick publication following acceptance.
Miscellaneous
The journal provides forms for copyright agreement, details on the peer review process and on application for editorial board membership. It also includes a newsletter sign-up function for authors/readers. The website mentions “Latest news” related to upcoming journals, editor applications, and DMCA compliance.

Its aim is to disseminate interdisciplinary research globally, emphasise visibility and accessibility, provide authors with DOIs and certificates, and to collaborate with indexing services and libraries to enhance reach.
