Sociological Research Online is:
• fully peer reviewed and permanently archived

SRO was launched as the first online-only peer-reviewed sociology journal in 1996. Readers can enjoy direct access to original qualitative and quantitative audio, visual and video data, thematic special sections and rapid response calls.
The journal is published quarterly and all articles are fully peer reviewed by a distinguished Editorial Board. We publish theoretically engaged and empirically rich articles across a wide range of sociological topics using both qualitative and quantitative research methods.
Rapid Response/Sociology Online
SRO was one of the first journals to make electronic publishing a reality and has innovated new ways of publishing and communicating. One such innovation has been the introduction of rapid response publishing where sociologists have been invited to contribute to sociological debates about topics in the public arena. These have included collections on the themes of the Stephen Lawrence murder enquiry, war and genocide in relation to the Kosovo conflict, the genetic modification of food, the future of Sociology and Sociology and prediction. These are published alongside regular issues.
Thematic Collections
These innovative collections bring together articles, reviews and research resources published in earlier issues, gathered together around particular themes. The contents change and collections grow as new material is published. These collections have proved to be ideal for lecturers to include on reading lists and for students who are studying particular aspects of sociology.
