Notice to JSSR Readers/Authors/ISSS Members:

The Journal of Social Studies Research (JSSR) is currently transitioning to a new publisher (SAGE). We are working diligently with Sage to get the submission system online and the latest issue of JSSR published. We ask for your patience with us during this transition. As of now, we don’t have a definitive timeline for completion. Rest assured we are still taking submissions and reviewing manuscripts. Any questions please feel free to email me at Russell@ucf.edu.

Thank you for understanding and thank you for your support.
