Research in Social Stratification and Mobility, the Elsevier Science publication that is affiliated with ISA Research Committee on Social Stratification, RC28, is expanding to a multi-issue format beginning in 2004 with expansion to a full quarterly journal format expected in 2005. The journal will be referenced in the social science citation index and will be widely available in electronic format and to RC28 subscribers at discounted prices. In addition, the editorial board is being reconstituted so that it is more representative of the RC28 membership.

RSSM is seeking submissions in all areas of the study of social inequality, all methodologies, and all theoretical perspectives. The new RSSM also welcomes review papers, new theoretical developments, and commentaries on recent controversies surrounding the study of social inequality. The overriding goal of RSSM is to publish the highest quality material in social stratification and to develop and advance theory, research methodologies, and policy-related developments in this most important discipline.

Submissions in electronic format should be addressed to:

A submission fee of US$10 (checks payable to RSSM, waived for student submissions) should follow the electronic submission by regular mail.
