International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by René Worms. It is published with the financial support of Sapienza University of Rome, and its direction is under the responsibility of the Department of Statistical Sciences.
Entrusting the journal into the Department of Statistics of Sapienza University reinforces the view that sociology cannot be conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology, and social psychology. Thus, International Review of Sociology provides a medium through which up-to-date results of interdisciplinary research can be spread across disciplines as well as across continents and cultures.
The editorial board of the journal invites contributions that stimulate new ideas, weigh up debates on contemporary sociological thought, or indicate new perspectives in the fields of social theory and empirical research. Authors can send their contributions to the Editor, Prof. Marcella Corsi, via email at [email protected].

Understanding and using journal metrics
Journal metrics can be a useful tool for readers, as well as for authors
who are deciding where to submit their next manuscript for publication.
However, any one metric only tells a part of the story of a journal’s
quality and impact. Each metric has its limitations which means that it
should never be considered in isolation, and metrics should be used to
support and not replace qualitative review.
We strongly recommend that you always use a number of metrics, alongside
other qualitative factors such as a journal’s aims & scope, its
readership, and a review of past content published in the journal. In
addition, a single article should always be assessed on its own merits and
never based on the metrics of the journal it was published in.
Usage and acceptance rate data above are for the last full calendar year
and are updated annually in February. Speed data is updated every six
months, based on the prior six months. Citation metrics are updated
annually mid-year. Please note that some journals do not display all of
the following metrics
(find out why).
Usage:
the total number of times articles in the journal were viewed by users
of Taylor & Francis Online in the previous calendar year, rounded to the
nearest thousand.
