List of Journals

The category ‘Area Studies’ comprises 78 journals.

The choice of journals is based on Web of Science 's SSCI (Social Science Citations Index).

• The column Rank refers to the ranking accorded to the journal by Web of Science based on the 2-year Journal Impact Factor 2019 (released in 2020).

• Journals listed in pale letters do not deposit scholarly metadata at CrossRef. As a consequence, OOIR cannot track their latest papers.
