Manuscript evaluation

All texts in French or English submitted for publication to the Revue Française de Sociologie are read by the five current Editorial Committee members, two other editorial board members, and the editor of the journal. The Committee may call for an opinion from an outside expert. Committee members discuss articles in depth on the basis of at least eight evaluations and make a collective decision, which is then transmitted to authors in writing by a Committee member.

Annual English Issue

To make current French sociological study known and available to non-Francophone readers, the Revue Française de Sociologie publishes an annual supplementary issue in English of selected articles from the preceding year. All editorial board members participate in the selection process, choosing texts representative of a variety of domains and approaches, engaged in current debates within the discipline, and informative about French society in the aim of facilitating comparison with other countries.
