The Journal of Cultural Analysis and Social Change presents itself as a peer-reviewed academic platform, but the domain's short history raises questions. Registered just 10 months ago and expiring soon, jcasc.com has no presence in the Wayback Machine — meaning there's no public record of it existing before this year. That's unusual for a journal that lists an editorial team and claims an ISSN.
Real academic journals typically have a longer digital footprint, established publisher relationships, and clear legal pages. This site lacks both a privacy policy and terms of service, which is a red flag for any organization asking researchers to submit manuscripts. While the site has contact info and an about page, those alone don't substitute for verifiable history.
If you're considering submitting work or reviewing for this journal, look for evidence of indexing in established databases like Scopus or Web of Science. Contact the listed editorial team directly with specific questions about their peer review process and history. Without more proof of legitimacy, is jcasc.com a scam? We can't confirm that, but we can say the evidence available doesn't support trusting it blindly.
