Calling all social scientists! We’re funding the article processing charges (APCs) on research related to the societal impact of coronavirus.

As the coronavirus (COVID 19) outbreak continues to spread, we want to help you disseminate timely and relevant findings that will benefit all of society. As well as the need for medical and hard sciences, social sciences research is vital to the prevention, management and understanding of the wider societal impact of COVID 19.

- Mental health and wellbeing implications
- Education and learning accessibility
- Responsible leadership and management
- Hospitality and tourism
- Economic implications and planning procedures
- Supply chain management
What is required?
- Your research should be related to the prevention, management and impact of a public healthcare outbreak. Please see the research themes for guidance on areas for publication.
- All submitted research must meet our editorial policies and author guidelines.
