International Review of Sociology

Aims & Scope

International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by René Worms.

It is published with the financial support of Sapienza University of Rome, and its direction is under the responsibility of the Department of Statistics.

Entrusting the journal into the Department of Statistics of Sapienza University reinforces the view that sociology cannot be conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology, and social psychology.

Thus, International Review of Sociology provides a medium through which up-to-date results of interdisciplinary research can be spread across disciplines as well as across continents and cultures.
