Become a peer reviewer for The Sheffield Student Journal of Sociology

This is a call for students to join our growing cohort of peer reviewers at The Sheffield Student Journal for Sociology (SSJS). We primarily accept PhD students, however we will consider applications from undergraduate or masters students with equivalent research experience. Though we are a sociology journal, we publish interdisciplinary papers and as such accept peer reviewers from other related disciplines.

SSJS is published annually, you’ll be given no more than 1 or 2 papers a year. Our third edition ‘Social Inequalities’ is being published in Autumn 2019, and the review periods will be February – March 2019 and May – June 2019. Please read our ‘Guidance for Reviewers’ available here on when peer reviewing takes place, and how peer reviewers are matched to a paper.
SSJS is an academic, peer-reviewed student journal. We publish student led research which contributes to theory and knowledge within sociological studies. Our aim is to showcase contributions to research from across the student body and to give students the opportunity to publish and disseminate their work. We welcome papers from students of all levels, and whilst we are based within sociology we also welcome submissions from other disciplines. You can read Edition 2 ‘Communities’ here.
