About the journal
Aims and Scope:
This journal publishes articles in all areas of mathematical sociology. It also welcomes papers in areas of mutual interest to sociologists and other social and behavioral scientists, and papers which may encourage fruitful connections between sociology and other disciplines.
Articles dealing primarily with the use of mathematical models in social science, the logic of measurement, computers and computer programming, applied mathematics, statistics, or quantitative methodology are welcome insofar as they make some contribution to the understanding of substantive social phenomena.
The editors will consider speculative articles that are not mathematical but are sufficiently precise, general, and abstract to stimulate mathematical treatment of problems that have heretofore been dealt with only verbally. Reviews of new or developing areas of mathematics and mathematical modelling which may have significant applications in sociology will also be considered.
Instructions to Authors
MATHEMATICAL SOCIOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Authors should not submit articles to this journal if they are being considered elsewhere. It is a condition of acceptance by the editor of a typescript for publication that the publishers acquire automatically the copyright in the typescript throughout the world. Every attempt will be made to render a prompt decision about publication.
Mathematical Sociology is indexed in Sociological Abstracts, USA.
TYPESCRIPTS
Manuscripts should be typewritten on high quality bond paper with wide margins, double spaced throughout. Three copies should be submitted; each copy should include all figures and tables. Every effort will be made to maintain anonymity during the refereeing process.
Therefore, the first page of the manuscript should contain the title, the author's name and institutional affiliation. At the bottom of the first page include the name and address of the author with whom the editor should correspond about the manuscript, and to whom proofs are to be sent.
The second page should contain the title of the article and an abstract no longer than 120 words in length; the second page should not contain the author's name. Authors should include at the end of the abstract a list of key words to be used for database word searches.
The third page should contain the title and the beginning of the text; it too, should not contain the author's name.
SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES ON DISK
The publisher encourages authors to submit accepted manuscripts on computer disks. TEX is the preferred software, but all formats and software are usable, as are all sized disks. Authors must enclose a printed copy of the manuscript (in triplicate) along with the disk. All disks should be marked with the name of the software package that was used and the file name. Disks will be returned to the author with page proofs.
STYLE
In matters of style the authors should follow the Publication manual of the American Psychological Association with the following exceptions:
(1) The caution not to use equations is obviously inappropriate in this journal; (2) Do not use the abbreviations S, O and E for subject, observer and experimenter; (3) Do not underline symbols for they will normally be set in italics; (4) Please identify any unusual symbols in the margin at their first occurrence.
FIGURES
Figures submitted should be clear enough for direct reproduction. Redrawing, and author's alterations in excess of 10%, will be charged.
PROOFS
Authors will receive page proofs for correction by air mail. Reprints can be ordered when proofs are returned.
Early Electronic Offprints:
Corresponding authors can now receive their article by e-mail as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors will receive the traditional 50 offprints. A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding authors after publication. Additional copies of the journal can be purchased at the author's preferential rate of ?5.00/$25.00 per copy.
REPRINTS
Twenty-five reprints per article will be sent to the senior author free of charge. Additional copies may be purchased when returning the proofs.
