Aims and Scope of the Journal of Sociology The Journal of Sociology: Bulletin of Yerevan University, has a rich history of modernization. First published in 1967, it is one of the oldest and most prominent scientific journals in Armenia, firmly grounded in the fundamental traditions of interdisciplinary academic research and conceptualization. Since 2010, the Sociology Series of the Bulletin has been published as special issues. Since 2022, the journal has undergone a comprehensive rebranding and modernization process aimed at strengthening its international profile and aligning its editorial policies and publishing practices with internationally recognized standards of scholarly publishing. This strategic transformation has included the internationalization of the Editorial Board and authorship, the enhancement of editorial and peer-review procedures, and the adoption of best practices in research integrity, publication ethics, and open-access publishing. The Journal of Sociology: Bulletin of Yerevan State University welcomes papers that focus on sociological and interdisciplinary analysis of current problems in modern society, without limiting its interests to any particular direction. We are interested in both theoretical and applied research studies. The journal covers a wide range of sociological considerations, including social, economic, political, and military issues as reflected in public perceptions and social life. It also places emphasis on sociological studies of social groups, stratification, dynamics, communication, and interaction. The methodology of sociological studies is one of the core topics of the series. Additionally, we welcome research papers that address contemporary issues in social work and social administration. The Journal of Sociology is published twice a year, in June and December. The journal welcomes papers submitted by well-known scholars, as well as those submitted by less experienced researchers who demonstrate excellence in formulating non-standard hypotheses and applying innovative research methods. The Editorial Board of the journal is committed to expanding the range of authors by inviting researchers from universities around the world. The Journal is trilingual and published in English, Armenian, and Russian as regional languages (please refer to the detailed guidelines at https://journals.ysu.am/index.php/bulletin-ysu-sociology/about/submissions#authorGuidelines). The Journal of Sociology is indexed in DOAJ, EBSCO
