Submissions

The Electronic Journal of Sociology (EJS) is an international online refereed journal published on the Internet in both html and ascii formats. The EJS is now accepting manuscripts for consideration. Our online review produces very fast turn around in decisions and publication. We pride ourselves in an open, transparent, and democratic review procedure. Being freely available on the Internet, authors are assured that their works have a global audience. Anyone with a computer, modem and internet access can read or download articles and notes published in the EJS.

The Electronic Journal of Sociology is published in three tiers.

  1. Tier one is the traditional refereed tier for the publication of original scholarly research. This tier encompasses the broad range from macro works comparing societies and cultures to theoretically insightful micro case studies and accepts submissions from a wide range of theoretical traditions and methodological approaches.
  2. Tier Two is the editorially reviewed tier for the publication of transfer research. Articles in this section are designed to bring sociology and sociological knowledge to a wider audience. Articles written for this tier are written to communicate truths to a wider audience and are adjudicated on that basis.
  3. Tier Three is the editorially reviewed tier for the publication of controversial topics of interest. Topics appropriate for Tier Three include papers on spirituality, entheogens, structures of consciousness, and other topics normally considered outside of the mainstream of scientific respectability. This third tier is not to be used to publish politically suspect (i.e., racist, sexist) or politically biased research. Although Tier Three is subject to editorial review only, the same standards of empirical and argumentative rigor are expected here as are to be found in Tier One.

Authors should follow the EJS style guidelines when submitting papers for consideration. Authors do not need to concern themselves over the translation from plain text to hypertext. However, if you wish, you may explore a hypertext/hypermedia presentation.

Articles can be sent directly over the Internet as email attachments.
