About the Journal

ESS Conference Series: Social Science and Humanities is an open-access conference proceedings series published by ESS Press. The Series provides a scholarly platform for the publication of peer-reviewed research presented at international academic events in the fields of social sciences and humanities.

The Series aims to disseminate original research and promote academic dialogue across disciplines, institutions, and countries. Each volume is dedicated to a specific conference or scholarly event and reflects its thematic focus, objectives, and academic scope. The geographic location and organizing institutions may vary from issue to issue.

The Series publishes full papers and, where applicable, other scholarly materials associated with the conference programme (e.g., editorial forewords or conference information). All submissions undergo editorial screening and peer review in accordance with the Series’ editorial policies.

The Series follows principles of research integrity and publication ethics and is committed to transparent editorial and peer-review procedures.
