Ohio Social Studies Review

The Ohio Social Studies Review (OSSR) was the peer-reviewed professional journal of the Ohio Council for the Social Studies (OCSS). It has been discontinued as of January 2025. Check out our archived articles at the link above. 

OSSR strives to publish articles that focus on the social studies and related disciplines as well as those written from interdisciplinary perspectives, and is an avenue for practitioners and researchers to publish manuscripts on the ways that they are able to integrate research into the social studies classroom. The editors have special interest in manuscripts authored by teachers or co-authored by researchers and practitioners that highlight practical responses to persistent challenges and understanding in our field. The Ohio Social Studies Review audience is comprised in large part of practicing classroom teachers; therefore, manuscripts that focus on practical applications and/or effectively relate theory to practice will receive preference.
