Frontiers in Sociology and Social Research

Frontiers of Sociology and Sociological Research is a cutting-edge social science book series focusing on new directions in sociological and broader social science research. These new directions could be novel theoretical paradigms, innovative methodologies, and/or substantive findings that exemplify and anticipate trends in subfields. The series is predicated on the observation that any field of knowledge in contemporary times is a dynamic rapidly changing body of perspectives and understanding that continuously builds upon the foundation of extant scholarship. The series encourages manuscript submissions from both new and established scholars of sociology, anthropology, social policy, and other allied disciplines.

The connections between survey methodology and sociology, as well as the other social sciences, extend back for nearly a century, long before the products of survey research became a ubiquitous presence in our daily lives and before survey methodology was an academic discipline in its own right. The first generation of survey methodologists earned doctorates in cognate academic disciplines, coming to the field from psychology , sociology, political science, and statistics. Moreover, because of the relative newness of the field and the limited number of doctoral programs in survey methodology, many in subsequent generations of survey methodologists completed doctoral training in other disciplines as well.
