L'Année sociologique is a biannual peer-reviewed academic journal of sociology established in 1898 by Émile Durkheim, who also served as its first editor-in-chief.

[2] Many well-known sociologists were initial contributors to the journal, including Célestin Bouglé, Henri Hubert, Marcel Mauss, François Simiand, and Georg Simmel.

[1] During Durkheim's editorship of the journal, the editorial board comprised a team of approximately fifty researchers, a group which became known as the "French School of Sociology".

[3] The journal was relaunched following a break in publication due to World War I and the death of Durkheim in 1917.

[4] Although originally influenced by Émile Durkheim, the modern journal is based on research in the history of the social sciences.
