AJS strives to speak to the general sociology reader and is open to contributions from across the social sciences—sociology, history, anthropology, and statistics—that seriously engage the sociological literature to forge new ways of understanding the social.AJS offers a substantial book review section that identifies the most salient work of both emerging and enduring scholars of social science. Commissioned review essays appear occasionally, offering readers a comparative, in-depth examination of prominent titles. Although AJS publishes a very small percentage of the papers submitted to it, a double-blind review process is available to all qualified submissions, making the journal a center for exchange and debate "behind" the printed page and contributing to the robustness of social science research in general.
