A bstract . An analysis of academic participation in The American Journal of Economics and Sociology shows that the journal is a major outlet for comprehensive schools which emphasiize undergraduate programs, but others, including large research schools, are well represented. Although the AJES has encouraged interdisciplinary research in the social sciences from its inception, economists are the major contributors. Seventeen foreign countries, forty-five states, and the District of Columbia are represented in the AJES with Eastern, Midwestern, and Western states being the most prominent.
