Inspire Youth Journal is a global platform for youth journalism that connects young people worldwide who are passionate about current global issues and fostering peace, since late 2023.

To date, we have published 29 monthly editions containing approximately 470 articles, two special editions (Edition of the Year 2024 and Edition of the Year 2025), and four review articles on philosophy and climate change books.

Although it has been just over a month since we announced the Social Science Research Journal, we have received a substantial number of manuscripts and have selected the two best to publish in the Summer 2026 Edition.

We extend our sincere gratitude to all researchers and editors for their hard work and contributions, which have made this edition possible.

We also acknowledge our esteemed peer reviewers for their tireless dedication and generosity in volunteering to review our research papers. They include a Postdoctoral Fellow and PhD candidates at York University (Harriet Tubman Institute), Florida International University, Rochester Institute of Technology (Saunders College of Business), Leiden University, and an undergraduate student at Yale University. Their support sustains the growth of young researchers worldwide.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read our Summer Edition.
