Supported by an international editorial board and published four times a year, the journal is open to scholars around the world. It invites papers in Czech, English or Slovak presenting original research on Central and Eastern European (CEE) societies and broader comparative studies of the social and political developments that affect CEE. It also welcomes innovative theoretical and methodological work of a more general nature as well as contributions on the history of the social sciences in the region of CEE.

The journal welcomes submissions from every branch of sociology and it may accept sociologically well-informed and relevant work from related social sciences, such as social anthropology and political science.

The journal seeks to advance communication among sociologists in Central Europe and to increase the international visibility of Central European sociology.

Besides original theoretical and empirical research, the journal also publishes review articles and reviews of books focusing on new developments in theoretical and empirical sociology in CEE countries and worldwide.

The Czech edition of the journal, Sociologický časopis, has been published continuously since 1965 by the Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The English edition was launched shortly after the regime change in 1991, and in 2002 the two language editions merged to form a single journal, Sociologický časopis/Czech Sociological Review, with four yearly issues published in Czech and English (online).

The journal is quoted in leading social science databases, including the Web of Science.

Critical Housing Analysis

Critical Housing Analysis

Frequency: 2 issues / Country: Czech Republic

Critical Housing Analysis is a peer-reviewed academic journal focusing on critical and innovative housing research. The journal was launched in January 2014 and publishes two online issues annually. Critical Housing Analysis is published by the Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences.
Critical Housing Analysis aims to provide on-line discussion space for researchers who come up with innovative, critical and challenging ideas and approaches in housing-related research. The unique function of this journal is to facilitate rapid feedback on critical and innovative ideas and methods developed by housing researchers around the world.

We are especially keen to publish papers that provide:

Innovations in methods, theories and practices used in housing-related research. We especially welcome papers applying original research strategies (such as, mixed and interdisciplinary methods) and international comparisons with a strong sense for contextual and institutional differences. Papers should provide new and fresh research perspectives allowing a deeper understanding of housing markets, policies and systems. Innovations need to be justified but they could be “work in progress”, i.e. their findings may not yet have been fully verified.
Critiques of assumptions, methods and theories used in housing-related research. Such critical evaluations must be well-founded (empirically or by consistently logical argument) and convincing. However, there is no particular need to provide a solution to the problems that have been identified.
Critiques of applied housing practices and policies in particular cultural and institutional contexts, especially for those countries that are less represented in mainstream housing policy discourse. The critical assessment of policies must be analytical, should propose new perspectives and lead to wider policy implications.
The main purpose of Critical Housing Analysis is to provoke discussion. Therefore, each paper will have its own discussion forum on the journal’s web pages where it may be discussed by registered academics and practitioners from different parts of the world.
