Welcome to Sociological Research Online

We publish fully peer-reviewed sociology looking at current issues. A purely online journal, we make use of new media and reach a wide and international readership. We also publish special sections and rapid response articles, which address key issues in the public arena. Articles can be submitted online at: http://www.epress.ac.uk/SRO/webforms/author.php

Sociological Research Online welcomes proposals for special sections from prospective guest-editors. For guidance on how to write a proposal, please click here.

The review editors would like to hear from early career sociologists who are interested in reviewing books for the journal. Please submit your details to socres@surrey.ac.uk.
