Sociology is the study of society, human behaviour, social patterns, relationships, and social interactions. It is an increasingly complex and developing area of human research. Ensuring research outputs and data in this area are open access, rapidly available and reproducible is critical to supporting the development of Sociology.
At F1000Research, we feel strongly about representing a broad range of topics within Sociology including but not limited to:
Community and urban sociology
Political Sociology
Anthropological studies
Medical Sociology
Cultural Studies
Environmental Sociology
F1000Research is the ideal publishing platform for all your Sociology research outputs – from traditional Research Articles and Reviews to more unique formats, such as Systematic Reviews, Policy Briefs, Data Notes, and Method Articles.
Combining this unique publication model with our progressive Open Data Policy makes F1000Research the perfect home for Sociology research with the potential to make real-world impact. Get in touch or take a look at our comprehensive website which has a detailed ‘How to Publish‘ and ‘About‘ section.
Find the perfect home for your research
At F1000Research, there are a number of different publishing options to make the most of your Sociology research. Our Gateways provide thematic content hubs which collect together publications related to a particular organisation or research community. Submitting your article to a Gateway ensures additional visibility for your work and publication alongside other high-quality contributions from your research community.
Sociology of Health
The Sociology of Health Gateway invites researchers to tackle the complex and ongoing problems in global health systems and policies, and to suggest ways to improve health access and health equity. The Gateway welcomes research into the interwoven social, economic and cultural aspects of health and medical care.
Political Communications
Situated at the intersection between politics and communications, the Gateway provides an interdisciplinary forum for analysis and discourse on the ways in which media, politics and public opinion influence one another, and, in turn, how those interactions shape the events on our world stage.
Human Migration Research
The impacts of human migration today are global and reach into many aspects of the human experience and of society. This Gateway welcomes a broad range of interdisciplinary studies such as integration, ethnicity and identity, discrimination and nationalism, justice and policy, refugee status, and postcolonial studies.
