"What I particularly value in Social Science Information is its sheer range, high-quality eclecticism and unpredictability. You can count on it to take you into new by-ways and across disciplines in a spirit of rigorous intellectual generalism." Professor Philip Schlesinger, Director, Stirling Media Research Institute, University of Stirling, UK
"Social Science Information gives the reader a wide overview of socialscientific research in various European countries through papers on topics dealing as well with the sociology of everyday life as with social structure or the history of the social sciences " Raymond Boudon, Paris, Académie des sciences morales et politiques, France
