The Amsterdam Journal of Social Sciences (AJSS) is a student-led journal affiliated with the University of Amsterdam. We aim to provide an interdisciplinary approach to contemporary debates in Social Science. Our mission is to ensure a platform for students to publish their work, exchange ideas, and be part of an academic community. In ensuring these different functions, the AJSS consists of different teams that work together.
AJSS is actively inviting new students and early-career scholars from the University of Amsterdam to join the editorial team and help ensure the academic quality and smooth workings of the journal. Applicants from all disciplines of Social Sciences and all study stages are encouraged to apply, to ensure the academic diversity of the team.
This is an opportunity not only to network and help us in our goal of making academia more accessible but also to develop your scientific skills and be inspired by the work of other budding academics.
As an editor at the AJSS you will be reviewing submissions according to the guidelines of our Editor’s Checklist. In doing so, the editorial team also determines if an article is ready to be published, has to be reviewed, or is to be rejected. In the revision process, you facilitate communication between the reviewers and the author. Additionally, you will be handling abstracting and indexing services that are necessary for the editorial processes.
