Les Études sociales publishes works on the social sciences (from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries), focusing on their actors and institutions, their theories and methods, their fields of action, and their social issues. The journal emphasizes the study of the investigative approaches of the social sciences and their involvement in the field of education. It is also open to studies on the contemporary social sciences from a historical perspective. Its multidisciplinary editorial board brings together specialists from different fields (social and cultural history, economic and financial history, history of law, political philosophy, sociology and educational sciences, and literature). An expert committee helps in defining the journal’s editorial line.

The journal publishes thematic special reports made up of 8–10 articles of 40,000–50,000 characters. It also welcomes varia within the same volume. Proposals for articles and special reports, accompanied by a brief outline of the argument, should be addressed to the editorial office.

The journal contains two permanent sections: “Social sciences archives,” which welcomes annotated papers, and “Le Play working group” which gives information on current studies relating to Le Play and his school of thought.
