Call for Papers
Journal of African Social Inquiry
Contribute new perspectives to Journal of African Social Inquiry. We welcome original research, theoretical contributions and rigorous reviews.
Research areas
African societies, institutions and governance, social and economic development, inequality, community transformation and interdisciplinary social inquiry.
Early submissions are encouraged. Deadlines refer to complete manuscript submissions. Inclusion in a particular issue depends on successful peer review, completion of revisions and editorial approval; submission by a deadline does not guarantee publication in that issue. Manuscripts requiring additional time may be considered for a subsequent issue.
Open access and fees
The journal follows a Gold Open Access model. Submission and article processing charges are currently waived: submissions received under the 2027 calls incur no submission or publication fees, even if publication occurs after 2027.
Preparing your submission
Submit in English through the journal’s OJS submission system. Upload two documents in order: first an identified Title Page including Author Contributions, then an anonymised Main Manuscript. Do not upload a separate Author Contributions file. Follow the author guidelines for accepted file formats and size limits. Enter every co-author individually in the OJS contributor list, including their full name, affiliation, country and email, and identify the corresponding author. Names and author order must match across the contributor list and the identified files.
All submissions undergo editorial screening and double-anonymous peer review. Submissions must be original, must not be under consideration elsewhere, and must comply with the journal’s publication ethics and author guidelines.
Indexing development
Indexing process will start immediately following the release of the first issue. Preparatory work and applications will proceed in accordance with each indexing service’s eligibility requirements. Inclusion and timing are determined independently by the indexing services and are not guaranteed.
