Abstract

This article traces the history of the Bulletin of Sociological Methodology ( BMS ) from 1983 – the date of the publication of the first issue – to today. It emphasises the long-term collaboration between the four members of the original editorial team: Karl M. van Meter, Philippe Cibois, Marie-Ange Schiltz and Lise Mounier. It evokes the institutional difficulties encountered and the solutions found, in France and abroad; the partnership established with the methodology section of the International Sociology Association; and the incorporation of the journal into the SAGE journals catalogue.
