The newly published issue brings together scholarly contributions addressing contemporary academic, educational, technological, social, environmental, literary, and cultural concerns.
Publication of Volume III, Issue 1, 2026
A significant achievement during this period is the successful publication of Volume III, Issue 1, (2026) of the Don Bosco International Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences. The issue carries the online ISSN 3048-6823 and represents the continuation of the journal’s scholarly publication programme. The editorial note identifies the journal as a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary journal and highlights its commitment to fostering critical inquiry, scholarly dialogue, and innovative research.

Crossref Membership
Alongside the publication of Volume III, Issue 1, the journal has successfully established its membership with Crossref. The membership was obtained through the sponsorship of Informatics Publishing. Crossref Member Support Contractor Victoria confirmed that the membership application had been successfully processed and that the journal was set up with the relevant details provided to Informatics Publishing for further guidance. This represents an important development in the journal’s digital scholarly publishing infrastructure.
DOI Infrastructure
The journal has also received access to DOI (Digital Object Identifier) registration through Crossref. The availability of DOI infrastructure will allow the journal’s scholarly articles to receive persistent identifiers, supporting their long-term identification, citation, linking, and discoverability. The implementation of DOI registration should therefore be integrated into the journal’s publication workflow for the current issue and future issues.
