The journal seeks to engage and promote critical thinking by publishing articles from all perspectives broadly defined as falling within the boundaries of critical or radical social science. Originally appearing as The Insurgent Sociologist, it grew out of the tumultuous times of the late 1960s and was a by-product of the "Sociology Liberation Movement" which erupted at the 1969 meetings of the American Sociological Association. At first publishing work mainly within the broadest boundaries of the Marxist tradition, over the past decade the journal has been home to articles informed by post-modern, feminist, cultural and other perspectives that critically evaluate the workings of the capitalist system and its impact on the world. The journal is a platform for scholars whose work explores the relationship between race, gender and class in their quest for a deeper understanding of society writ large. It will continue in this fashion in order to preserve its position as one of a select few "alternative" journals having widespread recognition and respect within the world of social science scholarship.

An international peer-reviewed journal, Critical Sociologypublishes original research from a political economy perspective seeking to understand the most pressing social issues of the day as informed by race, class and gender. These articles seek to understand contemporary Capitalist society, all linked by common goals of critically examining how society functions and exploring the potential for progressive social change.   1. Peer review policy Critical Sociology operates a strictly anonymous peer review process in which the reviewer’s name is withheld from the author and, the author’s name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible; a editorial decision is generally made within (eg) 4-6 weeks of submission. 2. Article types Critical Sociologypublishes original research from a political economy perspective seeking to understand the most pressing issues of the day informed by race, class and gender. These articles seek to understand contemporary Capitalist society, all linked by common goals of critically examining how society functions and exploring the potential for progressive social change. 1. Articles: Theoretically informed analysis of contemporary issues. 2. Review Essays: These can be about a single book (which must be very significant to warrant this much attention), about several books, or ‘state-of-the-art’ articles placed in a larger context. 3. Book Reviews: A list of up-to-date books for review is available from the Journal's Book Reviews Manager. Articles are generally restricted to a maximum of 8,000 words, including all elements (title page, abstract, notes, references, tables, biographical statement, etc.). We are reluctant to burden our referees with very long manuscripts. Authors who suspect that their articles will have to be cut should make the required deletions prior to submitting the article. Review Essays are generally kept to no more than 5,000 words, and Book Reviews are capped at 1,500 words. Articles are peer reviewed while Review Essays and Book Reviews are reviewed by the journal’s book review editor. 3.

Journal contributor’s publishing agreement    Before publication SAGE requires the author, as the rights holder, to sign a Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement. SAGE’s Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement is an exclusive licence agreement which means that the author retains copyright to the work but grants SAGE the sole and exclusive right and licence to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than SAGE. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the proprieter in question. For more information please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway. 4.1 SAGE Choice and Open Access If you or your funder wish your article to be freely available online to non subscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in SAGE Choice, subject to payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Choice. To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit SAGE Choice. For more information on open access options and compliance at SAGE, including self author archiving deposits (green open access) visit SAGE Publishing Policies on our Journal Author Gateway. 5. Declaration of conflicting interests In your Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement you will be required to make a certification with respect to a declaration of conflicting interests. Critical Sociology does not require a declaration of conflicting interests but recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway. For more information please visit the SAGE Journal Author Gateway. 6. Other conventions None applicable. 7. Acknowledgements Any acknowledgements should appear immediately after your conclision under the heading Acknowledgements, that is, at the end of your article prior to your Declaration of Conflicting Interests (if applicable), any Notes, and your References. All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed in an ‘Acknowledgements’ section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged include a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair who provided only general support. Authors should disclose whether they had any writing assistance and identify the entity that paid for this assistance. 7.1 Funding Acknowledgement To comply with the guidance for Research Funders, Authors and Publishers issued by the Research Information Network (RIN), Critical Sociology additionally requires all Authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading immediately following the heading Acknowledgements and specified as ‘Funding’. All research articles should have a funding acknowledgement in the form of a sentence as follows, with the funding agency written out in full, followed by the grant number in square brackets: This work was supported by the Medical Research Council [grant number xxx]. Multiple grant numbers should be separated by comma and space. Where the research was supported by more than one agency, the different agencies should be separated by semi-colon, with “and” before the final funder. Thus: This work was supported by the Wellcome Trust [grant numbers xxxx, yyyy]; the Natural Environment Research Council [grant number zzzz]; and the Economic and Social Research Council [grant number aaaa]. In some cases, research is not funded by a specific project grant, but rather from the block grant and other resources available to a university, college or other research institution. Where no specific funding has been provided for the research we ask that corresponding authors use the following sentence: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors. Again, please include this information under a separate heading entitled ‘Funding’ immediately following any other Acknowledgements prior to your ‘Declaration of Conflicting Interests’ (if applicable), any Notes and your References. Important note: If you have any concerns that the provision of this information may compromise your anonymity dependent on the peer review policy of this journal outlined above, you can withhold this information until the final acceptance of your manuscript.
