Socipedia.ISA
Es wird ein Experten-Wiki zur Soziologie geben. Die ISA sucht dafür noch Wissenschaftler und Wissenschaftlerinnen, die sich daran beteiligen wollen. Beigefügt der Brief des ISA President:
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to let you know that ISA Executive Committee has approved a
launching of Sociopedia.ISA an online database with entries that are
state-of-the-art reviews areas in the social sciences. This new and
important project of our Association needs RC-WG-TG support and
collaboration.Entries will be included upon an editorial decision based on peer
reviews. A typical Sociopedia-article is of approx. 7.000 words and it
will include: 1. a description of what the article is about; 2.
theoretical approaches; 3. review of empirical evidence accumulated, so
far; 4. assessment of where we stand and where we are heading; 5.
future direction theorizing and research should/might take; 6. annotated
references and suggested reading; 7. references; 8. approx. ten
key-words. Please see the attached document for more details.Sociopedia.ISA is a new concept of knowledge dissemination. It combines
the best of two worlds: the opportunities the Internet offers and the
scientific quality guaranteed by solid and imaginative editing. While
experienced editors make sure that the highest possible quality is
offered, the Internet makes it possible to always provide the most
recent state of the art.
Sociopedia.ISA reflects and offers a living social science.Sociopedia.ISA is a joint venture of the International Sociological
Association and Sage Publications.I would like to invite you to propose names of scholars to serve on the
Editorial Board whose task is to solicit papers and decide on their
acceptation.Please submit your proposal before April 30, 2008 to isa@isa-sociology.org
Best regards,
Michel Wieviorka
ISA President
