Methodology. European Journal of Research Methods for the Behavioral and Social Sciences

A platform for interdisciplinary exchange of methodological research and applications — Free of charge for authors and readers

Methodology is the official journal of the European Association of Methodology (EAM), a union of methodologists working in different areas of the social and behavioral sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, economics, educational and political sciences). The journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary exchange of methodological research and applications in the different fields, including new methodological approaches, review articles, software information, and instructional papers that can be used in teaching. The main disciplines covered are methods of data analysis, statistical modeling, psychometrics and survey methodology. The articles published in the journal are not only accessible to methodologists but also to more applied researchers in the various disciplines.  Articles that focus on substantive research problems in the social and behavioral sciences are NOT in scope; the contribution of the articles has to be methodological in nature.

Since 2020, Methodology is published as an open-access journal in cooperation with the PsychOpen GOLD portal of the Leibniz Institute for Psychology (ZPID). Both, access to published articles by readers as well as the submission, review, and publication of contributions for authors are free of charge!

Articles published before 2020 (Vol. 1-15) are accessible via the journal archive of Methodology's former publisher (Hogrefe). Methodology is the successor of the two journals Metodologia de las Ciencias del Comportamiento and Methods of Psychological Research-Online (MPR-Online).
