Die soziologische Fachzeitschrift 'Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie' (KZfSS) wurde 1948 durch den Kölner Soziologen Leopold von Wiese als 'Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie' gegründet. Sein Amtsnachfolger René König richtete sie stärker auf sozialpsychologische Themenstellungen aus, u.a. Kultursoziologie und qualitative Sozialforschung, wodurch sie ihren heutigen Namen erhielt.
Sie ist nach Umfang und Verbreitung das bei weitem bedeutendste soziologische Fachorgan im deutschen Sprachraum und berichtet umfassend über die deutsche soziologische Forschung aller Fachrichtungen und vermittelt regelmäßig Forschungsergebnisse aus vielen Ländern der Welt.
Die KZfSS verfolgt das Modell einer soziologischen Universal-Zeitschrift.

Now in its third decade of publication, the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal (KIEJ) is an interdisciplinary quarterly journal of the Joseph and Rose Kennedy Institute of Ethics at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. It publishes philosophically rigorous and empirically informed articles in all areas of bioethics (broadly construed) and on related issues in practical ethics. The KIEJ has recently focused on publishing papers that explore ethical and social issues in science practice, as well as philosophical approaches to health, environmental, and science policy, especially those which situate philosophical and ethical issues in a global context.
Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas:*Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring)*Organisational learning*Intellectual capital*Knowledge economicsWithin (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.Perhaps as a consequence of this diversity, the knowledge management literature is at present fragmented. Many of the most influential articles on knowledge management appear in journals in fields as diverse as information systems, general management, strategy, organisational sociology or human resources. The literature also often, somewhat misleadingly, presents the subject as split. Current examples of these "splits", which should rather be debates, include those between the "codification" and "collaboration" schools of thought, and between "Western" (meaning North American) and "Eastern" (meaning Japanese) approaches. The intention for this journal is not only to accommodate these and other perspectives, but also to seek common ground between them.
