eursr-literature-positioningUse when positioning a European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript against the literature so it reads as a contribution to a comparative, theory-driven quantitative debate rather than a national note.

S

ESR rewards a mechanism that
eursr-topic-selectionUse when deciding whether a sociology project fits the European Sociological Review (ESR) and whether to write a full Article, a Comment/Reply, or a Data Brief. ESR is Europe's flagship quantitative-sociology journal, so the test is a portable mechanism studied with a rigorous comparative or longitu
eursr-transparency-and-dataUse when preparing the Data Availability Statement and the replication package for a European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript. ESR requires a Data Availability Statement for every manuscript and (for submissions from 1 January 2025) a replication package for statistical/computational work upon
eursr-workflowUse when starting or routing any European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript and unsure which skill applies. Routes to the right ESR sub-skill based on the lifecycle stage and the manuscript type (research Article ~8,000 words vs. Comment/Reply vs. Data Brief). It dispatches; it does not draft con
eursr-writing-styleUse when drafting or polishing a European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript so it reads for a comparative quantitative audience, follows OUP/ESR conventions, and fits the limits (Articles around 8,000 words including endnotes and references; abstract at most 200 words).
