The field studying digital hate is producing more research than ever. It is not producing enough conversation.
Digital Hate Review (DHR) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the empirical and analytical study of hate and exclusion in digital environments — and to the interdisciplinary integration the field has lacked.
DHR publishes qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research across linguistics, sociology, legal studies, media studies, historical studies, political science, and computational social science, reflecting the premise that meaningful exchange across disciplines brings the most salient patterns of digital hate into focus.
Published by AddressHate. Articles are freely available online with no article processing charges (APCs) for authors.
DHR is now accepting proposals and completed manuscripts.
How We Work
DHR publishes across three integrated formats.
Peer-reviewed research: Empirical and analytical scholarship from across the disciplines that constitute the field.
Legal Forum: A dedicated venue for legal scholars, practitioners, and policymakers examining the regulatory and jurisprudential dimensions of digital hate.
Perspectives: Contributions from platform engineers, civil society actors, and others at the frontlines of platform dynamics and content governance.
For Authors
Submit a Proposal
Use this option to propose a contribution that is not yet a completed manuscript. A proposal should clearly outline your core idea, research question(s), and analytical or methodological approach, and briefly explain how the planned project aligns with DHR's research focus.
Submit a Manuscript
Completed manuscripts are evaluated for scholarly quality, originality, and relevance. Submissions deemed suitable enter DHR's accelerated peer-review process, designed to deliver publish-ready research within a significantly shortened review cycle. Please review the Author Guidelines before submitting.
Leadership
DHR is guided by an international, interdisciplinary editorial board spanning political science, media studies, information science, communication, law, and digital memory.
