Archives de sciences sociales des religions (ASSR), known as the Archives de sociologie des religions pre-1973, is a quarterly peer-reviewed open access academic journal focused on religious studies. It is published by the Éditions de l'EHESS.
History
The journal was founded in 1956 under the CNRS as the Archives de Sociologie des Religions. It was renamed as the Archives de sciences sociales des religions in 1973.[1][2] It was founded by a group of five intellectuals; Henri Desroche, Émile Poulat, Jacques Maître, François-André Isambert and Gabriel Le Bras.[3]
Henri Desroche was the director of the journal from its creation until 1980.[4] ASSR releases articles bilingually in French and English, and occasionally Spanish.[5] Émile Poulat was one of the most important contributors of the journal, and was a member of its reading committee.[1]
It was formerly a semi-annual publication, and was published by the Institut de Sciences sociales des Religions in Paris, France.[6] The journal was transitioned to a diamond open access model in 2023, available for free on OpenEdition Journals.[7] In 2015 it had 1,000 readers.[8]
Editorial processes
The journal is peer reviewed. It publishes a "bibliographic bulletin" in January, and thematic or variety issues in April, June and November.[3][5] It has published themed issues on the religion of Creole peoples and the relations between Islam and politics in post-communist countries.[9][10]
Influence
Writer David Martin described the journal, along with the journal Social Compass, as "as essential to theory-building [in the context of the sociology of religion] as missionary ethnographies were to the foundations of anthropology".[11] Lionel Obadia described ASSR as "the major journal in social sciences of religion in France".[12]
