Summary:

"We’re continuing our series highlighting academic-led journals. These journals are helping to pave the way for sustainable open access (OA) publishing by introducing alternatives to subscription titles and using tools and services to produce OA articles more affordably than most corporate publishers. In the last post we spoke with Timothy Gowers, who uses Scholastica software to run two mathematics journals that he founded— Discrete Analysis and Advances in Combinatorics. For this next post, we caught up with Jesper Sørensen, the Robert A. and Elizabeth R. Jeffe Professor and Professor of Organizational Behavior and Sociology at Stanford University. Sørensen is editor-in-chief of Sociological Science. Founded in September 2013, Sociological Science is an OA peer-reviewed sociology journal aimed at “advancing a general understanding of social processes.” The journal publishes original research and commentary in all sociological subfields. Sørensen and his team launched Sociological Science with 3 core objectives in mind: Provide a quality open access publishing outlet for sociology scholars; Get articles to publication more quickly than other sociology journals; Serve as a forum for the dissemination and discussion of sociological knowledge. In this interview, he discusses his experience launching the journal and why he believes now is the time for more institutions and scholars to embrace academy-owned publishing models...."
