*Call for Editorial and Language Editors – Decolonial Digital Social 
Sciences (DDSS)*


/Decolonial Digital Social Sciences (DDSS)/, an emerging independent 
diamond open-access academic journal developed within the Decolonial 
Digital Social Sciences Network (DDSSN), invites expressions of interest 
from scholars and researchers wishing to contribute to its editorial 
development.

DDSS is committed to critical, interdisciplinary, and decolonial 
scholarship across the social sciences and humanities. The journal 
welcomes research informed by decolonial and postcolonial thought, 
feminist and antiracist perspectives, critical political economy, media 
and communication studies, cultural studies, and related critical 
traditions.

The journal operates without submission or publication fees and follows 
a continuous publication model based on editorial assessment rather than 
conventional external peer review.

*Current Editorial Opportunities*

*1. Associate Editors*

We welcome scholars interested in editorial assessment, developing 
journal sections, evaluating scholarly contributions, and supporting 
authors through constructive editorial feedback.

Applicants should indicate their research interests, relevant 
experience, preferred submission types, working languages, and availability.

*2. Copy/Language Editors*

We invite colleagues interested in supporting the linguistic quality, 
clarity, consistency, and accessibility of academic publications.

Responsibilities may include language editing, terminology checks, 
reference consistency, author queries, and proofreading.

*3. Multilingual Editorial Collaboration*

We particularly welcome scholars who can contribute to the development 
of multilingual academic publishing.

In addition to English, we are interested in building editorial capacity 
in Turkish, Arabic, Portuguese, Azerbaijani, and other languages.

The journal's submission system is currently configured for English. 
Publication in additional languages will depend on the availability of 
appropriate editorial support.

*Who Can Apply?*

We welcome expressions of interest from established scholars, 
early-career researchers, and qualified independent researchers across 
all geographical regions.

We particularly encourage participation from the Global South and 
academic communities underrepresented in dominant scholarly publishing 
structures.

All editorial roles are collaborative, with specific responsibilities,
