Sosyal Mucit Academic Review (SMAR) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal dedicated to publishing original research addressing contemporary issues related to business, economics, public finance, organizations, institutions, and working life.
SMAR is defined not only by its subject coverage but also by its editorial perspective: social inventiveness. Within the journal, social inventiveness refers to research that contributes to the reinterpretation of existing problems, the establishment of interdisciplinary academic connections, theoretical advancement, and the development of meaningful relationships between theory and practice.
Accordingly, SMAR seeks to publish studies that move beyond descriptive reporting and provide meaningful scholarly contribution through conceptual, empirical, methodological, or interdisciplinary advancement.
The journal adopts an interdisciplinary publication approach. However, submitted manuscripts are expected to be positioned primarily within at least one of the following fields:
1. Management and Organization: Organizational behavior, human resource management, leadership, strategic management, organization theory, institutional change, business and organizational sociology, entrepreneurship, and social entrepreneurship.
2. Economics: Microeconomics, macroeconomics, development economics, labor economics, economic sociology, behavioral economics, ecological economics, international economics, finance, and related fields.
3. Public Finance and Fiscal Studies: Public finance, taxation policies, fiscal law, budgeting processes, public debt, fiscal sustainability, taxation and society, and interactions between social policy and fiscal governance.
4. Working Life and Institutions: Sociology of work, industrial relations, diversity–equity–inclusion, digital transformation of work, institutional studies, governance, and public administration.
5. Sustainability and Societal Transformation:Sustainable development, green economy, digital transformation, social innovation, institutional transformation, and interdisciplinary studies focusing on societal change.
