International Journal of Humanities and Social Science (IJHSS) is an open access journal published by Centre for Promoting Ideas (CPI).

It is described by Times Higher Education as being “among nearly 140 ‘predatory’ publishers and 30 stand-alone journals on a list maintained since 2008 by Jeffrey Beall, associate professor and metadata librarian at the University of Colorado Denver.

Dr Beall defines ‘predatory’ journals as publications that ‘exploit the gold open-access model for their own profit”. That is, they present themselves as standard academic journals but seek to maximise their income from article fees by publishing all submissions with little or no scrutiny’.”
