The Journal of Social Sciences and Media Studies (JOSSAMS) is financially supported by Sindh Madressatul Islam University (SMIU), which serves as its primary funding institution and bears the expenses associated with the journal’s publication, management, and operational activities.

In addition to institutional financial support, the journal may receive financial assistance from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, subject to the journal’s eligibility, recognition, and applicable funding provisions.

The financial resources provided by SMIU, along with any external financial assistance received, are utilized to maintain the journal’s publishing infrastructure, facilitate its academic and editorial operations, and support the dissemination of scholarly research.

The journal maintains its editorial independence. Financial support from the university or any external funding agency does not influence editorial decisions, manuscript evaluation, peer-review outcomes, or publication decisions. All manuscripts are assessed solely on the basis of their academic quality, originality, relevance, and scholarly merit.
