"Change" and "order" are two major forces in social life which have attracted the attention of social scientist from the foundation of modern social sciences until now. In the contemporary era, successive and rapid ‘social changes’ have strongly affected the various aspects and structures of social, economic, demographic and political life of societies and in some cases disrupted the ‘social order’. As a result, new emerging social problems apeared in different arenas such as health, employment, poverty, migration, marginalization, changing family patterns, divorce, etc. Social changes in developing societies, which are going through complex stages of economic, social and demographic transition, have been faster, wider and more complex. Therefor, the adaptation of these societies against the forces of social change is accompanied by various challenges. So, the intersection of the forces of "social continuity and change" and its impacts and consequences have become the most central and practical subjects of social sciences in the contemporary era.

Journal of Social Continuity and Change (JSCC) is published with the aim of promoting knowledge about the forces of "social order" and "social change" and the interaction between these forces in influencing the social life. By publishing the latest scientific research in the subject of social continuity and change, this journal helps to strengthen the understanding, explanation and management of various dimensions of social changes. Responding to research and policy needs, expanding the frontiers of knowledge by publishing research results, providing a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas among experts, researchers, and students, and finally helping to develop theories are the main mission of the journal.

JSCC calls papers in following areas:

 - Innovative analysis at the micro or macro levels of social continuity and change,

 - Continuity and change in patterns, behaviors and social relations among people, and different social groups
