About Us

The Journal of Social Theory and Research is an online publication designed and established by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Benin for research and scholarship based on rational deductive and inductive analysis of mostly local scholars (Nigerians) to publish their research and other findings to compliment western intellectual imperialism. However, the policy of the Journal is to:

– provide high quality outlet for the publication of local and foreign research findings and other manuscripts
– encourage Nigerian and other African scholars to publish locally
– provide a forum for intellectual debate and dialogue
-make research findings and scholarly essays available to other scholars and students
resuscitate intellectual debate in Sociology and Anthropology as well as other social sciences and humanities.
– JOSTAR is published bi-annually (June and December). However, special editions may be called for by the editors.
– Articles/papers for publication are expected to reach the editor before the end of April (for June) and October (for December) publications through the above address.

All correspondence must be addressed to the Managing Editor of JOSTAR.
