About this journal

Objective
HUMOR was established as an international interdisciplinary forum for the publication of high-quality research papers on humor as an important and universal human faculty.

At the same time, humor research often sheds light on the basic concepts, ideas, and methods of many of these disciplines.

Topics

humor theory

humor research methodologies and measurements of sense of humor
