    Una manera de investigar la estructura de una disciplina científica es mediante el análisis de los consejos editoriales de las revistas de mayor impacto. La presente investigación analiza las relaciones entre las 100 principales revistas de sociología por la pertenencia múltiple de sus editores a varios consejos editoriales (interlocking editorship).

    Los resultados muestran que un reducido número de editores con perfiles similares pertenecen simultáneamente a muchas revistas, que las principales revistas forman una gran comunidad unida, que hay preponderancia de universidades anglosajonas y posición marginal de las universidades de países del Sur, y que las revistas de sociología general están mejor conectadas que las revistas de sociologías específicas. Estos hallazgos contribuyen a debates sobre la segmentación de la disciplina, el nivel de internacionalización, la apertura a sectores no-académicos y las trayectorias de las élites científicas.

    One means of examining the structure of a scientific discipline consists of analyzing the editorial boards of its most influential journals. This work analyzes the networks among the top 100 sociology journals, formed by multiple memberships of editors to distinct boards (interlocking editorship). The results suggest that a small number of editors having similar profiles simultaneously serve on a variety of journal boards; top journals form a large and united community, with Anglo-Saxon universities dominating the same;

    universities from countries located in the Southern Hemisphere hold a marginal position; and general sociology journals are more connected than specialized sociology journals. These findings contribute to debates on disciplinary segmentation, degrees of internationalization, openness to non-academic sectors and trajectories of the scientific “elite”.
