The
Journal of Mathematical Sociology is published in association with the
International Network for Social Network Analysis, the
Japanese Association for Mathematical Sociology, the
Mathematical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association, the
Methodology Section of the American Sociological Association, and
with the generous support of the UCLA Division of Social Sciences .
The
Journal of Mathematical Sociology publishes articles in all areas of mathematical sociology. The
Journal of Mathematical Sociology also welcomes papers of mutual interest to social scientists and other social and behavioral scientists, as well as papers by non-social scientists that may encourage fruitful connections between sociology and other disciplines. Reviews of new or developing areas of mathematics and mathematical modeling that may have significant applications in sociology will also be considered.
Because Journal of Mathematical Sociology is addressed primarily to sociologists it is anticipated that most articles will be oriented toward a mathematical understanding of emergent complex social structures rather than to an analysis of individual behavior. These structures include, for example, informal groups, social networks, organizations, and global systems. Papers on sociological and statistical methods are also welcome.
Peer Review Policy:
All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based first on screening by the editor and then anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
