In memoriam Andre Padoux (1920-2017), the academic journal Archives de sciences sociales des religions's own 2017 notice, marks the death of the Kashmir Shaivism and Shakta Tantrism scholar within a peer reviewed sociology of religion journal. Its strength is that it is the discipline's own record of Padoux's passing and standing, published by the journal his work was closely associated with. Its limit is that an in memoriam notice is a brief memorial tribute, not an independent full length scholarly biography, which a reader wanting a fuller account of his career and influence should seek separately.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
This is the journal's own brief memorial notice rather than an independent full length biography, published within a peer reviewed sociology of religion journal; the middle tier reflects that a memorial tribute, however authoritative the venue, does not carry the same evidentiary weight as a peer reviewed research article in that same journal. NotesAn academic journal's in memoriam notice for Andre Padoux, Archives de sciences sociales des religions (2017); a memorial notice, not an independent scholarly biography.
