Social Science Review (SSR) is a flagship publication of the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Dhaka. It is a bi-annual double-blind peer-reviewed Journal published in January and July by the Registrar, University of Dhaka. This journal accepts original research articles in the broader field of social sciences from the faculties of the University of Dhaka as well as other reputed universities. Interested scholars affiliated with research institutions may also submit their research papers.

The review process is an important part of the publication process. It helps an editor in making decisions on an article and also enables the author to improve the paper. We follow the blind review process, wherein the author and reviewer remain anonymous throughout the process. Before accepting to review a manuscript, reviewers should ensure that:

Social Science Review and the Faculty of Social Sciences take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article, for example, is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article; taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; or taking appropriate legal action.
