Theory & Society is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal covering theoretical analyses of social processes and phenomena. It was established by Alvin Gouldner in 1974. It is published by Springer Science+Business Media and the editor-in-chief is Janet Gouldner (University of California, Davis). According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2018 impact factor of 1.9.[2] Some users claim that, on average, it takes the editorial staff two years before they make a decision whether or not to accept an article. Data from Springer demonstrates this to be false.

Despite the lack of evidence regarding delays with article processing, Theory & Society was overhauled by Springer Nature in December 2023. Without notification, they changed the lead editors with Jonathan Turner and Kevin McCaffree. The editorial board immediately quit. The new editorial board includes controversial individuals with questionable publishing records, blatantly ideological political affiliations, and even connections to Jeffrey Epstein (in the case of Steven Pinker).
