The Zeitschrift became a closed in-house organ breaking from the Archiv’s documentary tradition

Evidence

The article section featured essays exclusively (or, after the Institute’s emigration, almost exclusively) by Institute members, so that the journal was presenting itself as the Institute’s principal organ' (and was expressly described as such in a later Institute prospectus in 1938). Works on social and economic history and above all documentary information (which had always had its own section in the Archiv) moved into the background, and articles concerned with grasping the current position in the advanced capitalist countries dominated. The review section consisted of short articles, and was divided into the fields of philosophy, general sociology, psychology, history, social movement and social policy, specialist sociology, and economics (the literature’ category was discontinued after appearing twice). — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 477
