Social Indicators Research: An International and
Interdisciplinary Journal for Quality-of-Life Measurement was
founded by Alex C. Michalos and published its first issue in March
1974. It has been the leading journal for scholarly research in its
field for over thirty years. This volume is published in
celebration of that record of accomplishment. The 19 articles
assembled here are a selection drawn from the 34 (2.4%) most
frequently cited articles in the journal's history. An introductory
essay written by Michalos explains the historical and scientific
importance of each article in the development of social indicators
or quality-of-life research. It provides a rare overview of the
perceived scientific problems that researchers around the world
addressed in the first three decades of exploration, as well as a
view of some of the problems to be addressed in the future. A short
essay describing the origins of the journal by its founder is also
included. Anyone interested in having a single volume that contains
some of the best research produced in this field will find this
volume irresistible.
