Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

At its core, sociology is the systematic study of society, human behavior, and the relationships between individuals and groups. Through empirical research and theoretical frameworks, sociologists aim to uncover patterns, trends, and underlying principles that govern social life. By examining the dynamics of groups, institutions, and cultures, sociologists shed light on the factors influencing human behavior. This understanding is invaluable in various academic disciplines, including psychology, political science, and anthropology. Sociological research often complements and enriches the perspectives of these fields, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and a more comprehensive comprehension of human existence.

To the extent that the field is marked by islands of knowledge while innovative research draws on cross-fertilization across approaches or topics, this ORE presents an opportunity to create connections, focus on mechanisms, provide a sense of context and history, and help identify research questions that can inform new research, whether in classic areas or emerging ones. In short, ORE Sociology serves as a springboard to new contributions for faculty and graduate students alike, perhaps especially outside elite institutions where personal interaction and seminar presentations can keep one informed.

The Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Sociology is part of a major reference publishing initiative from Oxford University Press to provide current, peer-reviewed, trustworthy research, read in 30 minutes or less, in order to better serve the changing needs of university-level digital research. Through the Oxford Research Encyclopedia (ORE) program, Oxford is building dynamic online encyclopedias in 20+ disciplines that will be continuously updated by the world's leading scholars, scientists, and researchers. With expert editors and peer-review, the ORE project will combine the discoverability of digital with the standards of academic publishing.

With today's overabundance of information, and misinformation, students and researchers alike can be overwhelmed when trying to identify what's trustworthy, what's up-to-date, and what's accurate.

Substantive, peer-reviewed, and regularly updated, the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Sociology combines the speed and flexibility of digital with the rigorous standards of academic publishing.
