International Sociology mainly tackles studies in Social science, Gender studies, Political economy, Politics and Globalization.
The published articles cover a variety of subjects, including Social science, Globalization, Political economy, Politics and Gender studies. Most of the Social science studies addressed in the published papers also intersect with Positive economics. The featured Globalization studies in the journal articles mainly concentrate on Power (social and political) but also cover areas of interest in Public relations.
The primary areas of discussion in the journal are Gender studies, Politics, Criminology, Social science and Political economy. The research on Gender studies featured in International Sociology combines topics in other fields like Context (language use), Right to the city, Narrative and Solidarity. Concepts in Urbanization, as well as related topics in Globalization, are covered in the Narrative research presented in it.
The studies on Politics discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Connection (mathematics) and Alliance. Social science research featured in the journal incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Silence, Internationalization and Social isolation. Some problems in Political economy that were presented in International Sociology overlapped with concepts under Government and Social movement.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 15.09% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 4.44% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 2.22% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.33% of all publications and 80.00% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.
