“…Scholarly journals are not only key to the quality and standards of research in a field, they also play a crucial role in the social organization of academic disciplines (Perrucci, Perrucci, and Subramaniam 2019). Mapping all publications in top sociology journals, that is, AJS and ASR , allowed us to reveal a gender pattern.…”

This article examines publication patterns over the last seventy years from the American Sociological Review and American Journal of Sociology, the two most prominent journals in sociology. We reconstructed the gender of all published authors and each author’s academic pedigree. Results would suggest that these journals published disproportionally more articles by male authors and their coauthors. These gender inequalities persisted even when considering citations and after controlling for the influence of academic affiliation. It would seem that the potentially positive advantage of working in a prestigious, elite sociology department, in terms of better learning environment and reputational signal, for higher publication opportunities only significantly benefits male authors. While our findings do not mean that these journals have biased internal policies or implicit practices, this publication pattern needs to be considered especially regarding the possibility of their “social closure” and isomorphism.

“…Various studies such as Perrucci et al (2019) or Keith et al (2002) conclude that the likelihood of achieving publications in United States sociology flagship journals is directly associated with universities’ sociology departmental rankings; that is, whether one is a member of an elite department or not. Weeber (2006) established that sociologists from the elite departments accounted for more than half of all outputs published in the three highest ranked United States sociology journals.…”

We examined the latest decade of Australian sociology PhD completions for differences in the number and quality of research outputs students published during doctoral enrolment. There was no evidence of a statistically significant difference between Go8 PhD students and their non-Go8 PhD counterparts in terms of either the quantity of research publications achieved, or the quality of these publications as measured by high-impact journals. There was also insufficient evidence statistically to conclude that Go8 men and Go8 women differed from one another, or that non-Go8 men and non-Go8 women differed from one another in overall quantity of outputs and publishing in high-impact journals. However, publishing success of men and women, when combined, regardless of whether they were at elite Go8 or non-Go8 institutions, showed gender had a marginally significant effect on publication productivity, men outperforming women, in both publication counts and in publishing in high-impact journals.

“…This elitist tendency can also found in the writer and editor of the journal. Researching four major sociology journals, Robert Perrucci et al(2019) see that journal publishers over a period of 50 years tend to provide more space for writers and editors from top-ranking educational institutions compared to other colleagues. The different missions of a journal also determine the selection of editors and writers.…”

This study examines scientific publications during a pandemic through bibliometric network analysis. We explored three different journal databases to map COVID-19 research in humanities and social sciences, then zoom in to communication studies. Government policy, e-learning, anxiety, economic impact are popular keywords in international and Indonesian articles on Social and Humanities, while disinformation, health communication, behavior change, and literacy are more prominent in communication articles. The researcher chose the keyword occurrence analysis as the basis for mapping the research theme. The bibliographic network was deployed in three strategies to obtain keyword data co-occurrence from research abstracts, keywords from researchers, and coder's approval keywords. Lastly, Vos viewer is used to creating macro and detailed perspective networks for interpretation. The results show that journal policies and models affect the number of COVID-19 publications in the journal. Finally, this study provides an overview that normative theory and behaviorism play a role in social and communication research.
