The Swiss Journal of Sociology was established in 1975 on the initiative of
the Swiss Sociological Association. It is published three times a year with
the support of the Swiss Academy of Humanities and Social Sciences.
The journal is a multilingual voice for analysis and research in sociology.
It publishes work on the theory, methods, practice, and history of the social
sciences in English, French, or German.
Although a central aim of the journal is to reflect the state of the discipline
in Switzerland as well as current developments, articles and book
reviews will be accepted irrespective of the author's nationality or whether
the submitted work focuses on this country.
The journal is understood as a representative medium and therefore open
to all research areas, to a plurality of schools and methodological approaches.
It neither favours nor excludes any research orientation but particularly
intends to promote communication between different perspectives. In
order to fulfil this aim, all submissions will be refereed anonymously by at
least two reviewers.
