A nonprofit organization registered in Colorado, USA · Est. 2023

The social sciences also transform the world.

The Colorado Social Science Research Academy (CSSRA) gives researchers everywhere two things good science depends on: independent ethics review through an OHRP-registered Institutional Review Board, and open-access publishing through a peer-reviewed international journal.

A global community

One academy, many countries.

Our editorial board and academic advisors come from universities and institutions across four continents — led by Editor-in-Chief Assoc. Prof. Dr. Siti Rohaida Mohamed Zainal (Universiti Sains Malaysia) — and our services are built for researchers wherever ethics review and publishing infrastructure is hardest to reach.
