About the Journal

Overview:

The Journal of Wellbeing is a pioneering, peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing the understanding and application of wellbeing as a foundational driver of societal progress. Our mission is to bridge research, policy, innovation, and practice by fostering actionable insights that place holistic wellbeing at the center of human development, governance, and sustainability.

Aim and Scope:

The journal serves as a platform for scholars, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and practitioners to explore how well-being can redefine systems, institutions, and everyday lives. We welcome contributions that integrate evidence-based research with practical solutions, emphasizing .Our scope spans public policy, behavioral economics, AI-driven sentiment analysis, cross-cultural wellbeing studies, preventive health, social entrepreneurship, and narrative-driven behavioral change. Unlike existing journals that specialize in isolated aspects of well-being (e.g., subjective happiness, clinical QOL, or urban design), we uniquely integrate data-driven insights, ethical AI applications, and policy frameworks to foster systemic change.

Mission:

To redefine societal success by placing evidence-based wellbeing at the heart of human development, governance, and innovation. We empower researchers, policymakers, and practitioners with interdisciplinary knowledge that translates into real-world impact.

Vision:

A world where wellbeing is the primary metric of progress, guiding policies, technologies, and business models to create equitable, resilient, and thriving societies.
