Sociological Journals

Periodicals devoted to sociology appeared in some countries in the late 19th century, reflecting the estalishment of sociology as an independent branch of knowledge. Among the first sociological journals were Revue internationale de sociologie (Paris, 1893), American Journal of Sociology (Chicago-New York, 1895), and E. Durkheim’s Anne sociologique (Paris, 1898).

During the 20th century, sociology became a system of differentiated disciplines. Interdisciplinary research developed, combining sociology with economics, psychology, and other branches of knowledge. As a result, many specialized sociological journals have appeared.

International sociological journals include Cahiers internationaux de sociologie (Paris, since 1946), Current Sociology (Paris-Oxford, since 1952), Homme et la société: Revue internationale de recherches et de synthèses sociologiques (Paris, since 1966), International Bibliography of the Social Sciences; International Bibliography of Sociology (Paris, since 1952), International Journal of Comparative Sociology (Leiden, since 1960), Sociological Abstracts (New York, since 1952), Sociologia internationalis: Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie (Berlin, since 1963), Theory and Society (Amsterdam-New York, since 1974), and World List of Social Science Periodicals (Paris, since 1953).

The journal Sotsiologicheskie issledovaniia (Sociological Studies) has been published in the USSR since 1974. Articles on sociology are also published in Voprosy filosofii (Problems of Philosophy, since 1947), Filosofskie nauki (Philosophical Sciences, since 1957), and Mirovaia ekonomika i mezhdunarodnye otnosheniia (World Economics and International Relations, since 1958).
