Sociological Review

Aims & Scope

The Sociological Review has been publishing high quality and innovative articles for over 100 years.

During this time we have steadfastly remained a general sociological journal, selecting papers of immediate and lasting significance.

Covering all branches of the discipline, including criminology, education, gender, medicine, and organization, our tradition extends to research that is anthropological or philosophical in orientation and analytical or ethnographic in approach.

We focus on questions that shape the nature and scope of sociology as well as those that address the changing forms and impact of social relations.

In saying this we are not soliciting papers that seek to prescribe methods or dictate perspectives for the discipline.

In opening up frontiers and publishing leading-edge research, we see these heterodox issues being settled and unsettled over time by virtue of contributors keeping the debates that occupy sociologists vital and relevant.
