TheAmerican Sociological Review (abbreviatedASR) is a bimonthlypeer-reviewedacademic journal that publishes original research and book reviews in the field ofsociology and relatedsocial sciences. It is published bySAGE Publications on behalf of theAmerican Sociological Association. It was established in 1936.[1] Along with theAmerican Journal of Sociology, it is considered one of the top journals in the academic field of sociology.[2] Theeditors-in-chief are David Cort (University of Massachusetts Amherst), Laurel Smith-Doerr (University of Massachusetts Amherst), andDonald Tomaskovic-Devey (University of Massachusetts Amherst).[3]
For its first thirty years, theAmerican Sociological Society (now the American Sociological Association) was largely dominated by the Department of Sociology at theUniversity of Chicago, and the quasi-official journal of the association was theAmerican Journal of Sociology. The creation of theAmerican Sociological Review has been seen as a rebellion against the dominance of theChicago school of sociology.[4]
In 1935, the executive committee of the American Sociological Society voted 5 to 4 against disestablishing theAmerican 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 the University of Chicago: theAmerican Sociological Review.[4]
Over the period 1948–1968, more than 60% editors of theAmerican Sociological Review earned their doctorate at theUniversity of Chicago,Harvard University, orColumbia 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]
