Social Science Computer Review (SSCORE) is an interdisciplinary journal covering social science instructional and research applications of computing, as well as societal impacts of information technology. Because the uses and impacts of computing are interdisciplinary, so is SSCORE. The journal is of direct relevance to scholars and scientists in a wide variety of disciplines.

For the special issue on ´Mobile Surveys´, SSCORE invites manuscripts particularly in the following areas:

Upon acceptance of an article by the journal, the author(s) will be asked to transfer copyright in the article to the publisher. This will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information under the U.S. Copyright law.
