THE SOCIAL SCIENCE PRESS: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

In: International social science journal: ISSJ, Band 19, Heft 2, S. 245-254

Abstract

As part of a comparative survey, the essay reports on a survey of the academic soc sci journals in the US: their history, development, circulation, etc. The earliest soc sci journals were either organs of assoc's or founded by strong U dept's; the later journals were offshoots of more specialized interests within each profession. Little attention is paid to soc sci articles in the public press. However, a new dimension is added with the start of new 'mediating' journals such as Transaction, The Public Interest, etc. AA.
