Journal Guide

Founded in 1922, Social Forces is a renowned journal of sociological research associated with the Southern Sociological Society. It highlights sociological inquiry but also explores realms shared with social psychology, anthropology, political science, history, and economics. Each issue usually includes ten to fourteen articles, twenty to twenty-five full book reviews, and five to ten "take note" reviews. Social Forces is widely circulated in the US and over one hundred foreign countries.

For more than thirty years, Social History has published scholarly work of consistently high quality, without restrictions of period or geography. Social History is now minded to develop further the scope of the journal in content and to seek further experiment in terms of format. The editorial object remains unchanged - to enable discussion, to provoke argument, and to create space for criticism and scholarship.In recent years the content of Social History has expanded to include a good deal more European and American work as well as, increasingly, work from and about Africa, South Asia and Latin America. In the main, the bulk of this work has taken traditional form - that is, the shape of the scholarly article has determined the form of presentation, its narrative styles and its footnote apparatus. In some circumstances this format can constrain originality, at the worst, or, maybe less bad, it serves to limit conceptual or theoretical risk. We do not wish to argue here that the tradition is without merit. Far from it. Yet we do not judge it appropriate for all purposes. On the contrary, Social History will also welcome work which, rather than reproducing past practices, seeks innovation in focus and presentation. The ways of doing this are manifold: unexpected comparisons crossing continents; analyses led explicitly by theory; lucid appropriations of other disciplines; short, critical reviews of the field's unchallenged assumptions. All these have appeared in recent submissions to Social History , and they are all welcome. They do not, of course, exhaust the innovative possibilities.It would be too strong to say that Social History seeks to establish an entirely new 'voice'. Yet we would like to modify the old one significantly to provide a new openness of debate as well as space for scholarly takers of conceptual risk. If you think you've got something new to say, then let us know about it long before it has been worked into the exquisite disciplines of traditional practice.

The Journal of Historical Sociology was founded in 1988 on the conviction that historical and social studies ultimately have a common subject matter and can only benefit from the interchange of ideas and perspectives.

As well as refereed articles, the journal presents reviews essays and commentary in its 'Issues and Agendas' section, and aims to provoke discussion and debate.

South Asia is a refereed journal published under the authority of the South Asian Studies Association of Australia. It is published three times a year, in April, August and December. Its mission is to provide a forum for scholarly research, comment and discussion on the history, society, economy, culture and international relations of the South Asian region from the earliest times to the present day. Ordinarily there are two general issues each year, and one dedicated to a topical theme. Published since 1971, South Asia is the world's senior journal of record for the South Asian region.The South Asian Association of Australia represents scholars whose interests are in the South Asian region. It is not strictly focussed, either geographically or by discipline. Generally, it covers countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Himalayan states but the diasporic nature of south Asian cultures and the supra-national influences on the region mean that the interests of scholars may extend well beyond the borders of these states. South Asia is generously supported by the Monash Asia Institute, Monash University, Australia, and the University of New South Wales, Australia.

South Asian Studies is the internationally refereed journal of the British Association for South Asian Studies (BASAS). SAS has appeared annually since 1985, and incorporated the earlier Afghan Studies, and has established itself as the UK's leading journal devoted to the visual and material cultures of South Asia, and the only major journal outside the subcontinent devoted entirely to this field. Its disciplinary focus embraces all aspects of visual and material culture, including art, crafts, archaeology and architecture, while it welcomes contributions on textual, historical, religious, sociological, ethnographic and other themes wherever these throw light on the journal's core areas of interest. The geographical focus of the journal is that of BASAS: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Maldives, and the South Asian diaspora. SAS regularly includes South Asia-related material dealing with neighbouring regions. The journal's chronological frame is from pre-history to the present.South Asian Studies aims to publish new research contributing theoretical and analytical insight. At the same time it provides a much needed forum for articles in which the principal contribution is in bringing to light interesting material previously unpublished. With its visual emphasis, South Asian Studies takes a generous approach to illustrations, which are not seen as mere adjuncts to text. It especially welcomes submissions with original drawings and photographs, and aspires to a high quality of design and layout.DisclaimerThe British Association for South Asian Studies and Taylor & Francis make every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the "Content") contained in its publications.

The aim of the journal is to establish a line of communication with these regions of Europe. Previously isolated from the European mainstream, the Balkan and Black Sea regions are in need of serious comparative study as are the individual countries, no longer 'at the edge' of Europe.The principal disciplines covered by the journal are politics, political economy, international relations and modern history; other disciplinary approaches are accepted as appropriate. The journal will take both an academic and also a more practical policy-oriented approach and hopes to compensate for the serious information deficit on the countries under consideration. It provides a unique opportunity to establish a new paradigm of analysis for the region and one that attempts to break away from the traditional ethnocentric approaches and develop a deeper and more fruitful understanding of the area.Peer Review Policy:All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees.Disclaimer for scientific, technical and social science publications:Taylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
