What is SociologicalAbstracts?
Sociological Abstracts provides access to the
world's literature in sociology and related
disciplines, both theoretical and applied. The
database includes abstracts of journal articles,
conference papers presented at various
sociological association meetings, relevant
dissertations, book reviews, and selected sociology
books.
Approximately 2500 journals in 30 different
languages from about 55 countries are scanned
for inclusion.
Topics include: anthropology, economics, education,
medicine, community development, philosophy,
demography, political science, and social
psychology. Journals published by sociological
associations, groups, faculties, and institutes, and
periodicals containing the term "sociology" in their
titles, are abstracted fully, irrespective of
language or country of publication. Non-core
journals are screened for articles by sociologists
and/or articles of immediate interest or relevance
to sociologists.
