The American Sociological Review is a bi-monthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering all aspects of sociology. It is published by SAGE Publications on behalf of the American Sociological Association. It was established in 1936.[1] It is along with American Journal of Sociology considered one of the top journals in sociology.[2]
The editors-in-chief are David Cort (University of Massachusetts Amherst), Laurel Smith-Doerr (University of Massachusetts Amherst), and Donald Tomaskovic-Devey (University of Massachusetts Amherst).[3]
For its first thirty years, the American Sociological Society (now the American Sociological Association) was largely dominated by the sociology department of the University of Chicago, and the quasi-official journal of the association was Chicago's American Journal of Sociology. The creation of the American Sociological Review has been seen as a rebellion against the dominance of the Chicago School in sociology.
In 1935, the executive committee of the American Sociological Society voted 5 to 4 against disestablishing the American Journal of Sociology as the official journal of society, but the measure was passed on for consideration of the general membership, which voted 2 to 1 to establish a new journal independent of Chicago: the American Sociological Review.[4]
Over the period 1948–1968, more than 60% editors of the ASR earned their doctorate at University of Chicago, Harvard University or Columbia University.[5] Over the period 1955–1965, four out of ten articles in the ASR were by individuals with doctorates from Chicago, Columbia, Harvard or the University of Michigan.[6]
The journal is abstracted and indexed in:According to the Journal Citation Reports, its 2019 impact factor is 9.1, ranking it 3rd out of 149 journals in the category "Sociology".[7]
