The Journal of Social Media in Society (JSMS)

The Journal of Social Media in Society is blind peer-reviewed, open-access, online journal that accepts scholarly articles and book reviews. The journal is devoted to scholarship and commentary on social media issues and their impact on society. The objective of JSMS is to advance the study of social media with current literature based on theory, research and practice from all methodological frameworks.

Based at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, Texas, USA, The Journal of Social Media in Society is sponsored by the Colleges of Liberal and Fine Arts, Education, Business, and Graduate Studies.

The journal welcomes papers on all aspects of social media, such as interactive online platforms and mobile technologies used to connect, share, discuss, and collaborate. It publishes May 31 and Dec 31 each year. Manuscript submissions and editorial guidelines are available through our online system at the JSMS.

The JSMS began in 2012, as an idea incubated by the Texas Social Media Research Institute (TSMRI). After five years, the journal became a stand alone entity, proud of its TSMRI heritage.
