The journal is published by SAGE Publications; before 2017 it was published by Wiley-Blackwell. It is one of the three "main sociology journals in Britain", along with the British Journal of Sociology and Sociology, and the oldest British sociology journal.[1]

The Sociological Review also publishes a monograph series that presents scholarly articles on issues of general sociological interest, and a themed monthly magazine that "present[s] timely insights grounded in sociological thinking and [...] writing for a broad readership".[2]
