Process of Participation

Students begin their ISSCY journey by submitting research proposals. Upon approval of their proposals and budget allocations, participants proceed to develop full-length papers based on their initial proposals. These papers are rigorously evaluated by a panel of judges, who select the finest submissions for publication in ISSCY's online journal. This structured process not only enhances academic rigor but also prepares students for scholarly discourse on an international stage.

   - Preliminary Round Deadline (Proposal Submission): August 24, 2022

   - Finalists Announced (Paper Submission): September 7, 2022

   - Final Round Deadline (Full Paper Submission): September 28, 2022

Research proposals, limited to under 500 words, outline the research topic, methodology, background, and clear objectives. It's worth noting that ISSCY accepts individual research submissions, emphasizing originality and scholarly rigor.

 

Contribution to Society Through Knowledge

ISSCY doesn't just evaluate the quality of research; it assesses the potential societal impact of the knowledge generated. This distinctive approach underscores the importance of selecting research topics that address pressing societal issues or contribute new perspectives and insights to human values and societal challenges.
 

In conclusion, for students preparing research and exploration in social sciences and humanities, selecting a research topic is as crucial as conducting the research itself. ISSCY offers a unique opportunity to showcase scholarly excellence while addressing meaningful issues that resonate globally.
