Informações básicas A Revista de Sociologia e Política é uma publicação trimestral do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciência Política do Departamento de Ciência Política da Universidade Federal do Paraná. Foi criada em fins de 1993 e aparece regularmente nos meses de março, junho, setembro e dezembro de cada ano. Com duas edições anuais, do número 1 (novembro de 1993) ao número 29 (novembro de 2007) as referências bibliográficas da Revista de Sociologia e Política incluíam apenas os números. A partir da edição de junho de 2009, a Revista passou a ser indicada com volume e número: v. 16, n. 30. Essa alteração deveu-se a uma inovação editorial: em virtude da quantidade de artigos propostos para avaliação e publicação, quando houver necessidade e possibilidade a Revista publicará um número suplementar exclusivamente eletrônico - cuja referência exige a indicação de volume. Passados três anos, o contínuo aumento das propostas de artigos fez com que assimilássemos esse número suplementar à periodicidade regular da Revista, tornando o periódico trimestral a partir do volume 21, número 45. Aberta ao debate científico, a Revista de Sociologia e Política é um veículo pluralista de divulgação dos resultados de pesquisa substantiva de sociólogos e de cientistas políticos. Publica, preferencialmente em português, artigos originais e ensaios bibliográficos. A Revista prioriza manuscritos cujo tema principal seja a prática política de agentes sociais. As contribuições das diversas disciplinas das Ciências Humanas são bem-vindas. Elas podem tomar a forma de análises de discursos teóricos, investigações históricas e, especialmente, pesquisas empíricas. Possui duas seções fixas distintas: uma seção de artigos e uma seção de ensaios bibliográficos. As afirmações e conceitos emitidos em artigos assinados são de absoluta responsabilidade dos seus autores. A abreviatura de seu título é Rev. Sociol. Polit., que deve ser usada em bibliografias, notas de rodapé e em referências e legendas bibliográficas.
