Journal of Sociological Research

Journal of Sociological Research (JSR) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published semiannually by Macrothink Institute. The journal publishes original research on social relationships, institutions, inequalities, and processes of social change. It welcomes quantitative, qualitative, and theoretical studies in areas including social stratification, family, work, culture, political sociology, and population research.

Focus and Scope

The journal’s scope includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Sociological theory and social structure
  • Family and population studies
  • Social stratification and inequality
  • Race, class, and gender inequality
  • Organizations, work, and markets
  • Political sociology and social movements
  • Survey research and sociological methods
  • Social attitudes and public opinion
  • Law, crime, and deviance
  • Education, health, and culture

All submissions should address a clearly defined sociological question, engage with relevant scholarship, and demonstrate methodological rigor appropriate to their design. Purely descriptive reports, advocacy pieces without sociological analysis, and manuscripts unrelated to the journal’s scope are not normally considered.
