The American Journal of Sociology (AJS), established in 1895, is the oldest scholarly journal of sociology in the United States. It is published bimonthly by The University of Chicago Press.
AJS is edited by Andrew Abbott of the University of Chicago. The journal presents work on the theory, methods, practice, and history of sociology. AJS also publishes sociology-related papers by scholars from outside sociology, speaking to sociologists, social scientists, and the general sociological reader.
Academic journals are sometimes evaluated by their Impact Factor, a statistic which corresponds to the frequency a journal's articles are cited in other journals. The impact factor advantages review articles, so when review journals are excluded, The American Journal of Sociology is, by this measure, the second ranked journal in the discipline.[1]
