社會(huì)學(xué)方法論（SM）是唯一一本專門研究方法的期刊。它是社會(huì)科學(xué)方法論新進(jìn)展的概要，有時(shí)也會(huì)引起爭(zhēng)議。貢獻(xiàn)來(lái)自不同的領(lǐng)域，并且有一些新的、有用的——有時(shí)令人驚訝的——關(guān)于各種方法論主題。這本雜志提供了一個(gè)論壇來(lái)討論支持社會(huì)學(xué)研究的哲學(xué)問(wèn)題。

Sociological Methodology (SM) is the only ASA periodical publication devoted entirely to research methods. It is a compendium of new and sometimes controversial advances in social science methodology. Contributions come from diverse areas and have something new and useful--and sometimes surprising--to say about a wide range of methodological topics. The journal provides a forum for engaging the philosophical issues that underpin sociological research.SM is published annually as a hardbound book.
