Margaret Thatcher once famously said that there is no such thing as
society.  Well there is now!  The Academy of the Social Sciences, which
represents the UK social sciences, has awarded the publishing contract for
its major new journal, Society, to T&F informa.  Society will be published
from 2006 under the Routledge imprint, which has been relaunched for the
21st century as the world’s leading social science imprint.

Society will:
Provide a focus for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research
across the social sciences.
Promote the social sciences and represent current trends.
Provide a digest of the most important issues within the social sciences.
Provide a forum for debate on the intellectual and economic future.
And provide critical reflection nationally and internationally.

Jo Campling, on behalf of the Academy’s Publications Committee
commented:

“Size matters!  We want the leading society publisher to publish for the
Academy – T&F informa can deliver everything we want globally,
effectively, efficiently and with maximum return.”

About the Academy
The Academy is composed of 348 Academicians and 43 Learned Societies. Most
of the Learned Societies in the Social Sciences in the United Kingdom are
represented within the Academy.
The Academy responds to Government and other consultations on behalf of
the social science community, organises meetings about social science for
practitioners and seminars on topics that span social science disciplines,
and sponsors a number of schemes that promote social science and enhance
its value to society.
