The South African Review of Sociology (SARS) is the official journal of the South African Sociological Association. The journal was previously published under the title of The South African Journal of Sociology and subsequently as Society in Transition. Up until 2009, the journal was published twice annually by Forum Press. From 2010 onwards, it is likely that the journal will be published three times a year by Routledge/Taylor & Francis. Unisa Press represents the publisher in the Southern African region.
SARS accepts and publishes research articles based on original research, review articles, briefings, and debates. Submissions should be relevant to the South African sociological community.
SARS is an accredited journal and is currently abstracted by Sociological Abstracts, South African Studies Abstracts, and Multicultural Education Abstracts.
