This reflection on the relationship between scholarly societies and journals, by historian Aileen Fyfe, rewards a careful read.
Of the Royal Society, she writes: "The fellows may still have expressed ‘goodwill’ towards the journals, but the mismatch between ‘the society community’ (small, British) and ‘the journal community’ (large, international) meant that the fellows lacked the sense of ‘ownership’ of the journals they had once had."
Qualitative sociology as a theory and method: Interesting reflections by Claudio Benzecry, for example on how cases are produced ('casing'), on slimming down cases in writing ('modelization'), and on the rhetorical dimension of causality and puzzles.
