2017 was a good year for Social Movement Studies. We received almost 200 new submissions in total - providing a challenge in keeping up with the review process, but also indicating the quality and breadth of our growing field. We recruited three excellent colleagues to the Editorial Board.And we gained our highest impact factor so far, being one (albeit imperfect) indicator of the growing influence of our authors.
Some of the information below attests to the increasing scope of our field: the word cloud demonstrates thematic coverage, and the map indicates geographic spread. We have been keenly aware in recent years of critiques of Euro-centrism in movement scholarship (as in many fields of social scientific research); this challenge remains on both epirical and theoretical levels, and has been very well expressed in the most recent edition of Interface. We continue to encourage submissions that promise to broaden the field in terms of geographic scope and theoretical resources.
