This series was established by the ISA in 1974 in place of
the Transactions of the World Congress of Sociology which
had been published since the Association's first congress
in 1949.
SSIS now includes two publication outlets.
- The first is the well-established monograph book series
which includes topical and commercially viable volumes which
reflect the scientific activities of, and debates currently
taking place in, the ISA. Books in this series would normally
be single or jointly authored.
Typically volumes contain an average of eight chapters
and run to about 250 book pages. Proposals for this series
should include a statement concerning the intended market
for the book, any competitor volumes and its sales potential.
Proposals will be reviewed by the series editor and by Sage.
- The second publication outlet is a new initiative. From
2001, there are two extra issues per year of the journal
Current Sociology devoted to SSIS monograph issues. This
initiative provides an important publications outlet, particularly
for edited collections from Research Committees, Research
Council conferences. National and Regional Associations
(including language communities) and ISA World Congress
meetings.
The monograph issues contain selections of papers chosen
for their scientific merit, international representativeness
and relevance to the theme which the issue is addressing.
There should be a strong Introduction and/or Conclusion
which explores and develops the theme for the issue. Monograph
issues will typically contain about seven or eight papers
and have a maximum page length of 212 printed journal pages.
All proposals will be refereed by members of the Editorial
Board (made up of Research Committee Presidents) and the
series editor.
SSIS books and monograph issues are published in English
and the monograph issues include abstracts in French and
Spanish. It is also part of the SSIS mandate to reflect
global concerns and representation through issues of international
importance and sociological significance.
