This refereed journal that spans all of the humanities and social sciences is an ideal gathering point and springboard for world-class scholars, especially those who remained eclipsed under Western colonization. It also opens up new spaces in terms of new theories, methodologies, philosophy, and innovations; new connectivity between different continents, and new connectivity and exchanges between different sciences.

This Journal is set to become a big star on the horizon of a true globalizing publishing world, with equal opportunities and non-discriminatory practices in terms of topics and countries covered.

I am beyond impressed that the Horizon-JHSSR has found its way into a critical space of academia. The platform brings scholars together to forward their respective domains of research. From the editorial board to the reviewers and authors, contributing to the dissemination of knowledge is a seamless process.

The journal attracts global authors and covers a plethora of subjects that contributes to its prestige.

I am appreciative of the eye-opener resulting from your initiative. First, the impressive editorial board rings a bell! In fact, the selection of scholarly articles of international standard published in JHSSR make an excellent read for average readers from across the 5 continents.

I feel you have excelled in engaging with top reviewers and editors working presently with your journal to maintain high standards at par with good international journals.

Draconian changes are difficult to make but they can be done with time and patience to boost citations. Meanwhile carry on as best as you can and as you have done these past years.

JHSSR always kept the standard of high- quality publications in the research areas.

For the first time, I am genuinely excited reading scholarly articles! I truly feel inspired. JHSSR really knows how to keep readers engaged with their top articles. I always look forward to your forthcoming issues.

Prof Kanwal is an excellent editor. More scholars who wish to contribute to academic writing need a dash of his irreverence and zero-fluff enthusiasm. I am indeed a fan! JHSSR is Sizzlingly Smart, Stunning, and Astute.

I have been following each issue of Horizon- JHSSR since its first release in Dec. 2019. I am so impressed and deeply impacted, by its phenomenal growth, which is perhaps unique in the history of ‘open-access, peer reviewed research journals, in the social sciences’.

I have noted, with keen interest, its growth, on all parameters. As we check the parameters like total downloads and total views, it has a phenomenal growth of over 3600% (if we compare latest figure with that of mid-2020), in downloads (with CAGR of 5.8%). [Details appended]

Kudos and my academic salute to the entire academic team of JHSSR, for your invaluable contribution to the field of social science research publications. It is indeed a proud privilege to be associated with JHSSR.

JHSSR is a great journal to share practical examples of where research can make a real difference.

I have seen in many journals why a plethora of marginally related articles are dumped together in order to bring out on schedule (or perhaps with one or two months advance) one of the two volumes per year.

But your journal is significantly different. It carefully filters out the best articles and yet published ahead of time!

During my interaction with Nayan on Sociological issues, he has proven that he genuinely cares about the well-being of the journal, he lays his hands upon!

He continually strives to raise the visibility and status of the title, and his dedication and drive have helped him to achieve these goals in a short span of time.

I am certain, JHSSR will soon be a top-ranking journal in the region.

– Emeritus Professor Gregory Alan Myers, Lancaster University, U.K.

Deciding on the journal to which to submit the results of our hard work in the form of an article manuscript is not an easy task. There are many criteria that people might use. I have multiple criteria. First, I want my work (and that of my co- authors) to make an impact, not just in my field, but across academia. To do this, online and easily accessible production is necessary. I love the concept of open access, but I am frightened off by the generally high cost. This is not the case with JHSSR, with its modest $100 fee.

Second, I don’t like to see my work boxed in a silo with only others in my field. I like to be included in an interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary journal. I have found many articles outside of my field that I have really enjoyed reading. So, whether submitting an article or looking for information that can be used in your research, this is a great journal for both.

It has not yet established itself as having a high impact factor, but I know that will come. I’m not a big fan of using impact factor to decide the journal to which I will submit my manuscript, but for those of you who need it based on the metric your institution requires, be patient. It will definitely come.

Give it a try!!

—Gary N. McLean, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, USA.

Horizon Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research (JHSSR) is a blessing to the global research community. It helps researchers disseminate their research to a worldwide audience.

While it publishes scientific articles for a minimal fee, it ensures they pass a stringent review process and observes the publication's high ethical standards. Sustaining a non-profit journal publication is difficult, but JHSSR has come this far. It has gained overwhelming support from credible peer reviewers across the globe.

I am impressed! Kudos to the passionate people behind JHSSR's consistent quality, since its establishment in 2019. Indeed, such commitment will bring the journal to its greater heights in the very near future. Congratulations!
