About the Journal

Análise Social is a multidisciplinary journal, specializing in Sociology, History, Anthropology, Political Science, Social Psychology and Human Geography. Priority is given to publishing articles which:

• Present empirical research based on theoretical concepts and models;
• Develop new analytical and research methods;
• Use heuristic concepts to interpret social phenomena;
• Demonstrate the theoretical implications of empirical research;
• Contribute to developing comparative approaches to the topics studied.

 

Whilst most of its articles deal with social scientific research on Portugal, Análise Social is also open to publishing articles on any other region, particularly when these provide new comparative and analytical insights.

Análise Social comes out four times a year, is indexed on several abstract and citation databases, and follows a rigorous peer review procedure. This journal provides free immediate open access to its content.
