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 the University of Chicago: the American Sociological Review.[4]
Early history
Over the period 1948–1968, more than 60% editors of the American Sociological Review earned their doctorate at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, or Columbia University.[5] 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.[6]
