Call for Papers:

Dear network members, scholars, artists, and all stakeholders,

Since the current global outbreak has emerged, most of the prestigious scientific publishers including ours (Springer Nature) have raised open-calls and free material in order to fight COVID-19. all these efforts logically are addressed to the medical societies and related disciplines. However, We are convinced that the contributions of academics, policymakers and other stakeholders from other areas, including the humanities, arts and social sciences (HASS), should not be overlooked.

So, I am pleased to announce a special open call for a research article collection that aims to examine the innovative role and contributions of the HASS disciplines, as well as interdisciplinary efforts, in shaping the global response to the current public health crisis.

Go to the announcement for more details and don't hesitate to contact me for any question you may have.
