At Societies & Sustainability, our mission is to advance the understanding of social dimensions in sustainability through the publication of high-quality, peer-reviewed research. As a newly launched open-access journal, we are dedicated to exploring the complex interplay between societal development and sustainable practices, emphasizing the importance of social sciences in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

We aim to serve as a platform for researchers to share innovative solutions and best practices that address critical social issues, including poverty, inequality, education, health, gender equality, and community development. Our journal fosters interdisciplinary collaboration and promotes research that supports the creation of resilient and equitable societies, contributing to a more sustainable and just world.

Although Societies & Sustainability (SAS) is a new journal, it builds upon the strong foundation of academic excellence established by the SWS Scholarly Society Vienna. Our commitment to high standards of scholarly rigor is supported by our International Scientific Committee on Social Sciences, which ensures the integrity and quality of our peer-review process. Our contributors are leading scholars and practitioners whose work informs policy and practice at local, national, and global levels.

In an era marked by unprecedented social and environmental challenges, the role of social sciences is more critical than ever. Understanding human behavior, societal structures, and cultural dynamics is essential for developing effective policies and interventions that promote social justice and sustainability. Societies & Sustainability (SAS) is dedicated to advancing research that not only addresses these pressing issues but also fosters international dialogue and collaboration.

Our vision extends beyond the publication of articles; we aim to promote social justice, cultural awareness, and sustainable development through rigorous academic research. By providing a platform for the exchange of ideas and perspectives, we contribute to a legacy of scholarly excellence and positive societal impact.

Join us in our mission to explore and address the social dimensions of sustainability. Together, we can contribute to a more sustainable, equitable, and resilient future for all.
