of Social Sciences
The purpose of the Caucasus Journal of Social Sciences is to publish re-
ports of original research, reviews, and articles
of importance to the peoples
of the Caucasus region and to the people who has interest, and who work on
this region. The CJSS should stimulate, communicate research, critical think-
ing, and develop modern trends in social sciences. The CJSS should raise is-
sues that have not been covered yet and need to be analyzed from the
scientific point of view.
AREAS OF INTEREST

disciplines that study human aspects of the world. These include,
among oth-
ers, anthropology, archaeology, economics, education, geography, history, in-
formation science, international relations, law, linguistics, politics, psychology,
public health, and sociology. Papers in the humanities and other disciplines
will be considered if they are related in some way
to one or more of these dis-
ciplines.
LANGUAGE
The CJSS is published in English Language. Authors should provide man-
uscripts in English with Georgian and English abstracts (120 words).
DUPLICATE SUBMISSIONS
Authors should submit articles that have not been previously published,
except that articles previously published only in Georgian or Russian may be
submitted in English. Authors should submit only articles that have not also
been submitted to other journals.
PEER REVIEW
Articles selected for preliminary consideration by the Editor will be sent
to subject matter experts for review. Names of authors and reviewers are kept
confidential.
FREQUENCY
Initially, the Journal will be published once per year. If the quantity and

nals. No advertisements of a political or offensive nature will be accepted.

STYLE
The Journal articles should be submitted in APA Style (American Psy-
chological Association). The Publication Manual of the American Psycholog-
ical Association is the style manual of choice for writers, editors, students,
and educators in the social and behavioral sciences. It provides invaluable
guidance on all aspects of the writing process, from the ethics of authorship
to the word choice that best reduces bias in language. Well-known for its au-
thoritative and easy-to-use reference and citation system, the Publication
Manual also offers guidance on choosing the headings, tables, figures, and
tone
that will result in strong, simple, and elegant scientific communication.

cal Association or Publication Manual of the American Psychological Associ-
ation, 5 Edition.
