Circulation

Description
The quality and quantity of sociological literature have increased to the point that the ASA has devoted an entire journal to book reviews. Contemporary Sociology is designed to give new thrust to criticism and reviewing within the field in a variety of formats such as review symposia and review essays. Contemporary Sociology publishes reviews and critical discussions of recent works in sociology and in related disciplines that merit the attention of sociologists. Since not all sociological publications can be reviewed, a selection is made to reflect important trends and issues in the field.

Circulation

Description
Directed to anyone interested in the latest sociological ideas and research, Contexts seeks to apply new knowledge, stimulate fresh thinking, and disseminate information. Its articles, both commissioned and unsolicited, synthesize key findings, weave together diverse strands of work, draw out implications for policy, and debate issues of controversy. The hallmarks of Contexts are accessibility, broad appeal, and timeliness. By design, it is not a technical journal, but a magazine for diverse readers who wish to be current about social science knowledge, emerging trends, and their relevance. It regularly publishes letters and opinions, brief notes on recent findings, feature articles with comments, and essay reviews of books. While significant as scholarship, articles published in Contexts will be prepared in an easy and engaging style. It aspires to be a meeting place for discussion among social scientists and the public.

Published Quarterly
March, June, September, December

Circulation

Description
Social Psychology Quarterly is the ASA’s official journal in the field of social psychology. Focusing on society’s impact on the individual and on individual interaction in small groups and communities, the journal gives special attention to such matters as attitude measurement, laboratory experiments, and theories of social processes.
Since the journal reaches many social psychologists who are not members of the ASA, it offers an important additional advertising market. SPQ publishes papers pertaining to the processes and products of social interaction. This includes the study of the primary relations of individuals to one another or to groups, collectivities, or institutions, and also the study of intra-individual processes in so far as they substantially influence, or are influenced by, social forces.
