Electronic Journal of Sociology
- Electronic Journal of Sociology
The "Electronic Journal of Sociology" is an online open access academic journal of sociology. It published its first volume in 1994, when it was founded by Michael Sosteric. Andreas Scheider took as chief editor until 2004, when Michael Sosteric returned and Adam Rafalovich became the co-editor in chief. [Sosteric M. (2004). Science, Scholarly Communication, and Access: Open is Better. "Electronic Journal of Sociology".] The journal implemented a new approach in 2004 whereby it decided to publish three tiers of articles: fully reviewed original articles at tier 1, editorially-reviewed reviews and commentaries at tier 2, and editorially-reviewed other works, including original papers, at tier 3.
In 1996, the journal was criticized by its rival "Sociological Research Online", who suggested that their conventional approach to reviewing articles was more rigorous. The EJS had adopted a forum with which an author could respond to the feedback or criticism of the reviewer. The EJS editorial board responded, speculating that the rival journal, which was affiliated with Sage Publishing, might feel threatened by the EJS's open access and lack of traditional publishing ties. [EJS Collective. (1996). To Sociological Research Online.] EJS is hosted by Scholarly Exchange, a nonprofit providing a content management system for online journals.
