What Czasopismo Humanities and Social Sciences does

Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS) is a peer-reviewed academic journal established in 2013 and published by Rzeszów University of Technology (Politechnika Rzeszowska), a public technical university in Rzeszów, Poland. The journal publishes quarterly issues in English under an open access model, covering selected disciplines in social sciences (management and quality, politics and administration, security, psychology) and humanities (history, philosophy). It carries ISSN 2300-5327 (print) and e-ISSN 2300-9918, and is indexed in The Central European Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities (CEJSH), ERIH PLUS, DOAJ, and EBSCO databases. The journal has qualified for funding under Poland's "Support for Scientific Magazines Program," which provides public funding stability and signals official recognition of editorial quality.

The journal is operated on Open Journal Systems 3.1.2.1, an open source journal management and publishing platform developed by the Public Knowledge Project under the GNU General Public License. There are no proprietary technology layers; the platform provides standard editorial workflow, peer review management, and online publishing capabilities. The publication is staffed by 7 employees and operated as part of the university's broader portfolio of academic journals (which also includes Modern Management Review, Advances in Mechanical and Materials Engineering, Journal of Mathematics and Applications, and others).

From a commercial standpoint, HSS is not structured as a revenue-generating business. It operates on a not-for-profit basis with no author-side publication fees and operates under publicly disclosed public funding. Authors publish free of charge and readers access articles free of charge; the journal's primary "customer" is the academic research community it serves. The go-to-market is event-driven and occurs through database indexing and open access availability rather than traditional sales or marketing. No external investors, M&A activity, or private capital are involved.

Broad incumbents

• Frontiers in Psychology: Large open-access psychology journal from Frontiers. Overlaps with HSS's psychology coverage and captures a significant share of psychology submissions that HSS might otherwise attract.

Direct peers

• Social Sciences (MDPI): Open-access peer-reviewed journal covering social sciences. Direct overlap with HSS's social sciences scope (management, politics, psychology) and identical open-access publishing model.
• Humanities (MDPI): Open-access peer-reviewed journal covering humanities disciplines, very similar in scope, language policy, and publishing model to HSS's humanities coverage. Both publish under open access and rely on academic indexing.
• SAGE Open: Major open-access journal covering social sciences and humanities. Direct overlap in subject area and publishing model, though operating at much larger scale as a broad-scope mega-journal.
• Cogent Social Sciences: Open-access social sciences journal from Taylor & Francis. Competes for the same author pool in social sciences research with a similar open-access, broad-multidisciplinary stance.
• Modern Management Review: Sibling journal published by the same university (Rzeszów University of Technology) with quarterly cadence and open access. Shares institutional infrastructure, editorial processes, and governance with HSS.

Regional players

• Polish Sociological Review: Established Polish social sciences journal published by the Polish Academy of Sciences. Comparable regional academic publishing role but with a longer history and stronger domestic Polish brand recognition.
• Studies in East European Thought: Springer journal covering social sciences and humanities with a regional East European focus. Comparable in serving Central/Eastern European academic communities across humanities and social sciences.

Emerging players

• International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences: Open-access journal covering humanities and social sciences broadly. Comparable scope and open-access model, targeting international academic submissions including from regional authors.
• European Journal of Social Sciences: Open-access journal covering European social sciences research. Comparable scope and audience to HSS, with similar positioning toward regional academic communities.
