It is published by SAGE Publications on behalf of the American Sociological Association. It was established in 1936. It is along with American Journal of Sociology considered one of the top journals in sociology.

History

Founding

For its first thirty years, the American Sociological Society (now the American Sociological Association) was largely dominated by the sociology department of the University of Chicago, and the quasi-official journal of the association was Chicago's American Journal of Sociology. The creation of the American Sociological Review has been seen as a rebellion against the dominance of the Chicago School in sociology.

In 1935, the executive committee of the American Sociological Society voted 5 to 4 against disestablishing the American Journal of Sociology as the official journal of society, but the measure was passed on for consideration of the general membership, which voted 2 to 1 to establish a new journal independent of Chicago: the American Sociological Review.

Early history

Over the period 1948–1968, more than 60% editors of the ASR earned their doctorate at University of Chicago, Harvard University or Columbia University. Over the period 1955–1965, four out of ten articles in the ASR were by individuals with doctorates from Chicago, Columbia, Harvard or the University of Michigan.
