History

In 1969, a joint panel including sociologists from the National Academy of Sciences and the Social Science Research Council made a formal recommendation for the creation of an annual journal that published review articles about sociology. As a result of the recommendation, the American Sociological Association initiated a collaborative agreement with the nonprofit publisher Annual Reviews for the creation of such a journal.[2] The Annual Review of Sociology was first published in 1975, making it the twentieth Annual Reviews journal title. Additionally, it was the third title in the social sciences after the Annual Review of Psychology in 1950 and the Annual Review of Anthropology in 1972.[3] In 1996 it was published electronically for the first time, making it the first of the twenty-six Annual Reviews titles published online.[4] As of 2020, it was published both in print and electronically.[5]

Scope and indexing

It defines its scope as covering significant developments in sociology, regarding theoretical and methodological applications, as well as subfields like social processes, institutions and organizations, culture, political sociology, economic sociology, social stratification, demography, urban sociology, social policy, historical sociology, and sociology in various regions of the world.[6] Most volumes include a prefatory chapter written by a distinguished sociologist in which they reflect on their career and achievements.[7] As of 2019, Journal Citation Reports lists the journal's impact factor as 6.400, ranking it first of 150 journals in the category "Sociology".[1] It is abstracted and indexed in Scopus, IBZ Online, International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, and Academic Search, among others.[8]

Editorial processes

The Annual Review of Sociology is helmed by the editor or the co-editors. The editor is assisted by the editorial committee, which includes associate editors, regular members, and occasionally guest editors. Guest members participate at the invitation of the editor, and serve terms of one year. All other members of the editorial committee are appointed by the Annual Reviews board of directors and serve five-year terms. The editorial committee determines which topics should be included in each volume and solicits reviews from qualified authors.[9] Unsolicited manuscripts are not accepted. Peer review of accepted manuscripts is undertaken by the editorial committee.[10]
