New Issue Released: Review of Disability Studies, Volume 20, Issue 2; Scopus
The RDS Editorial Team (within the Center on Disability Studies, College of Education, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa) is pleased to announce the release of Review of Disability Studies—Volume 20, Issue 2. As critical programs serving people with disabilities face unprecedented threats, efforts continue around the globe to confront injustice and imagine new possibilities.
This issue brings together research and essays from around the world—including Uganda, Jordan, and the United States—on topics like public service accessibility, gender-based violence, postsecondary transitions, the disability support workforce crisis, representation of disability in children’s literature and other research articles. You’ll also find a film review, a book review, and featured dissertation abstracts. Plain language abstracts are available for all articles at: https://rdsjournal.org/index.php/journal/plainlangv20i2
This issue also marks a major milestone:
Review of Disability Studies is now indexed in Scopus.
Scopus is one of the world’s most widely used and respected academic databases, indexing more than 28,000 active journals across disciplines. Inclusion in Scopus means greater reach for all our authors and even stronger global impact, making it easier for future researchers to find, cite, and build on our work. For our contributors, that translates into broader readership, deeper influence, and more opportunities to shape disability studies. And for the field itself, with RDS being one of the few disability-studies–focused journals in Scopus, its inclusion signals recognition of the continued critical importance of all of our efforts.
