Jouranls of abstracts and reviews.

ICSSR brings out Journals of Abstracts and Reviews, bi-annually, in five disciplines, viz. Economics, Geography, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Social Anthropology. Also, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Public Administration (IIPA), New Delhi, and the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad, the Council brings out two quarterly journals, namely, 'Documentation in Public Administration' and 'Vikalpa', respectively

Indian Social Science Review (ISSR) Journal

The Council's journal, the Indian Social Science Review, provides a vital forum/ platform to the social science community to deliberate upon important issues engaging the social sciences. Three volumes running into six issues have been published since its launch in January 1999 while the fourth volume is currently in the press.

The journal has taken shape under Professor T. N. Madan as Editor-in-Chief, in collaboration with Sage Publications. Its Editorial Board has met ten times till date. It consists of eminent social scientists belonging to different disciplines: Professors Amiya K. Bagchi (Economics and Economic History), Sabyasachi Bhattacharya (History), Ashish Bose (Sociology), Neera Chandhoke (Political Science), Suma Chitnis (Sociology and Education), Indira Jai Prakash (Psychology), Kuldeep Mathur (Political Science), Pulin Nayak (Economics), Deepak Nayyar (Economics), Atul Sarma (Economics), T. K. Oommen (Sociology) and Dr. K. V. Sundaram (Geography) as its Members, and Dr. Arun P. Bali, Director at the ICSSR, as the Managing Editor. Indian Social Science Research has enjoyed tremendous encouragement and invaluable support of the Chairman, Professor V. R. Panchamukhi and the Member Secretary, Mr. Bhaskar Chatterjee. An Editorial Cell manned by qualified professionals has been set up to look after the work of the journal.

Indian Social Science Review (ISSR), a refereed journal, is truly evolving into a novel multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary journal. Its multi-dimensional broad-based approach is borne out by the contents carried in the issues published so far.

ISSR publishes articles of a general or comparative nature as well as those focused on particular themes. It is proposed to devote January-June, 2004 to the theme of Liberal Democracy. Professor Amiya Bagchi has agreed to act as its Guest Editor. Shorter communications, review articles, and book reviews are its regular features. The Call for papers for general as well as thematic issues inviting articles from scholars may be seen here

CALL FOR PAPERS

Indian Social Science Review (ISSR), a refereed journal, seeks to bring multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to bear upon the study of social, economic, political and other related problems of contemporary concern. It also welcomes contributions clarifying methodological and theoretical issues. ISSR publishes articles of a general or comparative nature as well as those focused on particular themes. From time to time, special issues devoted to the discussion of a particular theme, comprising mostly invited articles, also will be published. Shorter communications, review articles, and book reviews are regular features.

The ISSR is edited by a board comprising Professor T. N. Madan (Social Anthropology) as Editor-in-Chief and Professors Amiya K. Bagchi (Economics and Economic History), Sabyasachi Bhattacharya (History), Ashish Bose (Sociology), Neera Chandhoke (Political Science), Suma Chitnis (Sociology and Education), Indira Jai Prakash (Psychology), Kuldeep Mathur (Political Science), Pulin Nayak (Economics), Deepak Nayyar (Economics), Atul Sarma (Economics), T. K. Oommen (Sociology) and Dr. K. V. Sundaram (Geography) as members.

ISSR welcomes contributions from Indian scholars wherever they are placed and whatever is the geographical focus of their research. It also publishes articles by non-Indian scholars dealing with India. It invites papers (in duplicate) that follow the interdisciplinary approach. The length of papers should be between 5000 and 8000 words. Shorter communications and research notes may also be considered.

2. Editorial policies

2.1 Peer review policy

Sociological Bulletin adheres to single blind peer review process in which the reviewer’s name is routinely withheld from the author unless the reviewer requests a preference for their identity to be revealed.

The Editor or members of the Editorial Board may occasionally submit their own manuscripts for possible publication in Sociological Bulletin . In these cases, the peer review process will be managed by alternative members of the Board and the submitting Editor/Board member will have no involvement in the decision-making process.

2.2 Authorship

All parties who have made a substantive contribution to the article should be listed as authors. Principal authorship, authorship order, and other publication credits should be based on the relative scientific or professional contributions of the individuals involved, regardless of their status. A student is usually listed as principal author on any multiple-authored publication that substantially derives from the student’s dissertation or thesis.

If the named authors for a manuscript change at any point between submission and acceptance , an Authorship Change Form must be completed and digitally signed by all authors (including any added or removed) . An addition of an author is only permitted following feedback raised during peer review. Completed forms can be uploaded at Revision Submission stage or emailed to the Journal Editorial Office contact (listed on the journal’s manuscript submission guidelines). All requests will be moderated by the Editor and/or Sage staff.

Important : Changes to the author by-line by adding or deleting authors are NOT permitted following acceptance of a paper .

Please note that AI chatbots, for example ChatGPT, should not be listed as authors. For more information see the policy on Use of ChatGPT and generative AI tools .

2.3 Acknowledgements

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, or a department chair who provided only general support.

Please supply any personal acknowledgements separately to the main text to facilitate anonymous peer review.

2.3.1 Writing assistance Individuals who provided writing assistance, e.g. from a specialist communications company, do not qualify as authors and so should be included in the Acknowledgements section. Authors must disclose any writing assistance – including the individual’s name, company and level of input – and identify the entity that paid for this assistance. It is not necessary to disclose use of language polishing services.

2.4 Funding

Sociological Bulletin requires all authors to acknowledge their funding in a consistent fashion under a separate heading. Please visit the Funding Acknowledgements page on the Sage Journal Author Gateway to confirm the format of the acknowledgment text in the event of funding, or state that: This research received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.

2.5 Declaration of conflicting interests

Sociological Bulletin  encourages authors to include a declaration of any conflicting interests and recommends you review the good practice guidelines on the Sage Journal Author Gateway

Please ensure that a ‘Declaration of Conflicting Interests’ statement is included at the end of your manuscript, after any acknowledgements and prior to the references. If no conflict exists, please state that ‘The Author(s) declare(s) that there is no conflict of interest’. 

2.6 Research data

The journal is committed to facilitating openness, transparency and reproducibility of research, and has the following research data sharing policy. For more information, including FAQs please visit the Sage Research Data policy pages .

Subject to appropriate ethical and legal considerations, authors are encouraged to:

• share your research data in a relevant public data repository

3. Publishing policies

3.1 Publication ethics

Sage is committed to upholding the integrity of the academic record. We encourage authors to refer to the Committee on Publication Ethics’ International Standards for Authors and view the Publication Ethics page on the Sage Author Gateway

3.1.1 Plagiarism Sociological Bulletin and Sage take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of published articles. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of Sociological Bulletin against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article, for example, is found to have plagiarized other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article; taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; or taking appropriate legal action.

3.1.2 Prior publication If material has been previously published it is not generally acceptable for publication in a Sage journal. However, there are certain circumstances where previously published material can be considered for publication. Please refer to the guidance on the Sage Author Gateway or if in doubt, contact the Editor at the address given below.

3.2 Contributor’s publishing agreement

3.4 Protection of Research Participants and Ethical Statement

All authors should seek approval to conduct research from an independent local, regional, or national review body (e.g., ethics committee, institutional review board).

Nonessential identifying details should be omitted. Informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt that anonymity can be compromised.

Preferably, authors are recommended to use pseudonym to maintain anonymity of research or questionnaire participants and the same should be indicated in the manuscript as well.

Ethical statement should be declared wherever necessary.

4. Preparing your manuscript for submission

4.1 Formatting

The preferred format for your manuscript is Word. LaTeX files are also accepted. A LaTex template is available on the Manuscript Submission Guidelines page of our Author Gateway.

The manuscript should be structured as follows:

• Cover page, showing title of the paper, name of author, author’s affiliation and institutional address with pin code, email id and a 100–150 word abstract. In case there are two or more authors, then corresponding author’s name and address details must be clearly specified on the first page itself.
• The contributors should provide 4–5 keywords for online searchability.
• Text should start on a new page, and must not contain the names of authors.
• References should come at the end of the manuscript. Important note: There is no limit on the number of references allowed.

Please Note: For each text citation there must be a corresponding citation in the reference list and for each reference list citation there must be a corresponding text citation.

• Tables and figures should be provided in editable format and should be referred to in the text by number separately (e.g., Table 1) not by placement (e.g., see Table below).

Please Note: All figures and tables should be cited in the text and should have the source (a specific URL, a reference or, if it is author’s own work, ‘The author(s)’) mentioned irrespective of whether or not they require permissions.

• Figures, including maps, graphs and drawings, should not be larger than page size. They should be numbered and arranged as per their references in the text. All photographs and scanned images should have a resolution of minimum 300 dpi and 1,500 pixels and their format should be TIFF or JPEG. Permissions to reprint should be obtained for copyright protected photographs/images.
• Mathematical formulae, methodological details, etc. should be given separately as an appendix, unless their mention in the main body of the text becomes essential.
• The language and spellings used should be British (UK), with ‘s’ variant, for example, globalisation instead of globalization, labour instead of labor. For non-English and uncommon words and phrases, use italics throughout the text. Meaning of non-English words should be given in parenthesis just after the word when it is used for the first time.
• Articles should use non-sexist and non-racist language.
• Spell out numbers from one to ninety-nine, 100 and above to remain in figures. However, for exact measurement (e.g., China’s GDP growth rate 9.8 per cent) use numbers. Very large round numbers, especially sums of money, may be expressed by a mixture of numerals and spelled-out numbers (India’s population 1.2 billion).
• Single quotes should be used throughout. Double quote marks are to be used within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text.
• Notes should be numbered serially and presented at the end of the article. Notes must contain more than a mere reference.
• Use ‘per cent’ instead of % in the text. In tables, graphs, etc., % can be used. Use ‘20th century’, ‘the 1990s’.
• The initials must be separated by dots and have space in between.
• Number ranges should not be truncated, for example, 2017–2018.
• ‘ibid.’ (roman and with a lowercase ‘i’) must be used in the main text.
• Abbreviations are spelled out at first occurrence. Very common ones (US, GDP, BBC) need not be spelled out.

4.2 Artwork, figures and other graphics

For guidance on the preparation of illustrations, pictures and graphs in electronic format, please visit Sage’s Manuscript Submission Guidelines .

• All photographs and scanned images should have a resolution of minimum 300 dpi/1500 pixels and their format should be TIFF or JPEG.
• Due permissions should be taken for copyright protected photographs/images. Even for photographs/images available in the public domain, it should be clearly ascertained whether or not their reproduction requires permission for purposes of publishing (which is a profit-making endeavour).
• All photographs/scanned images should be provided separately in a folder along with the main article.

Please Note: All figures and tables should be cited in the text and should have the source (a specific URL, a reference or, if it is author’s own work, ‘The Author’) mentioned irrespective of whether or not they require permissions.

• Figures supplied in colour will appear in colour online regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced in colour in the printed version. For specifically requested colour reproduction in print, you will receive information regarding the costs from Sage after receipt of your accepted article.

4.3 Supplemental material

This Journal is able to host additional materials online (e.g. datasets, podcasts, videos, images etc) alongside the full-text of the article. For more information please refer to our guidelines on submitting supplemental files

4.4 Reference style

Sociological Bulletin adheres to the APA reference style. View the APA guidelines to ensure your manuscript conforms to this reference style.

• References: A consolidated listing of all books, articles, essays, theses and documents referred to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs and maps) should be provided at the end of the article.
• Arrangement of references: Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work. In each reference, authors’ names are inverted (last name first) for all authors (first, second or subsequent ones).
• Chronological listing: If more than one work by the same author(s) is cited, they should be listed in order by the year of publication, starting with the earliest.
• Sentence case: In references, sentence case (only the first word and any proper noun are capitalized—e.g., ‘The software industry in India’) is to be followed for the titles of papers, books, articles, etc.
• Title case: In references, Journal titles are put in title case (first letter of all words except articles and conjunctions are capitalized—e.g., Journal of Business Ethics).
• Italicize: Book and Journal titles are to be italicized.

Please Note: For each in-text citation there must be a corresponding reference in the reference list and for each reference there must be a corresponding in-text citation.

This book presents a critical and reflective view of fundamental theoretical orientations, thematic domains, and current debates in Indian sociology. It covers the growth of sociology as an academic and pedagogical subject, with four main parts. Part I discusses important theoretical orientations in Indian sociology, including Indological and civilizational approaches, as well as the contributions of an eminent sociologist and pioneer in Indian sociology, Professor Yogendra Singh, concerning the sociology of knowledge, liberal democracy, and the relevance of his concept of Islamization in the study of Indian society. Part II examines substantive areas of study such as caste, class, and tribe. Part III reflects on specific topics of current concern in Indian sociology, such as emerging vistas and futures, globalization, and rethinking area studies for planetary conversations. This book is highly relevant for postgraduate students and researchers in sociology, social anthropology, and social sciences.
