It focuses on the transformations in/of&nbsp;two journals, <em>Isis</em> and <em>International Sociology</em>, which deliberately attempt to enhance international&nbsp;social science. Our analyses of the publication practices in these journals point to the skewed global&nbsp;orientation in/of these journals, despite their outspoken internationalist ideals. Internationalization&nbsp;looks more like Americanization, when we compare the publication practices in international social&nbsp;science journals with their own ideal of balanced national representation.</p> ER -
