Research review 2023: Humanities and social sciences

The Swedish Research Council’s research review in humanities and social sciences describes the current situation for the research and makes a forecast of the development during the next 5–10 years. The review also includes scientific and research policy recommendations for initiatives to promote research in Sweden within the scientific field.

This is one of seven research reviews in total, produced during 2022. The other reviews cover the fields of artistic research, clinical therapy research, development research, educational sciences, medicine and health, and natural and engineering sciences.

The review forms form the basis for the Swedish Research Council’s strategic work and our input to the Government’s research policy bill for 2024.
