40th ANNIVERSARY!
In 2026, NZS celebrates 40 years of publishing sociology in and from Aotearoa New Zealand and the wider Pacific. Our anniversary issue (Vol. 41, No. 1) will include the editorial team’s 40-year publication trend analysis and a roundtable discussion. We also welcome timely commentaries for upcoming issues.
WHY PUBLISH IN NZS?
Open access – NZS publishes your work open access*, making it freely available to readers in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally. *NOTE: some older content may be accessible via university or public library subscriptions rather than directly through the NZS website.
No article processing charges (APCs) — NZS is an independent journal and does not charge submission fees, APCs, or page fees.
Indexing – NZS is indexed in various international open access databases and journal databases, such as the Scopus, SCImago, Google Scholar, Informit, and Sociological Abstracts
We are proudly independent! - NZS is independent of commercial publishers and run by the SAANZ community in Aotearoa New Zealand. Publishing with NZS helps sustain open, place-based sociology and an accessible forum for debate, commentary, and research.
