Social Science Research

Social Science Research publishes papers devoted to quantitative social science research and methodology. The journal features articles that illustrate the use of quantitative methods to empirically test social science theory. The journal emphasizes research concerned with issues or methods that cut across traditional disciplinary lines. Special attention is given to methods that have been used by only one particular social science discipline, but that may have application to a broader range of areas with an ultimate goal of testing social science theory.

Social Science Research welcomes submissions that significantly advance quantitative research methods.  Judgment of significance will be based on three criteria:
1. Whether or not the problem that the author(s) attempts to solve represents a major obstacle in theory testing;
2. How prevalent the problem is across different social science disciplines and research areas;
3. Whether or not the proposed solution is feasible and definitively superior to existing approaches in a wide range of settings.
