Russell Bernard (University of Florida). It has been in publication since 1989 and is currently published by SAGE Publications.[1]

History

The idea for a journal of methodology in the social sciences began in the 1980s, as a collaboration of H. Russell Bernard, Pertti J. Pelto, and Stephen Borgatti. Their early newsletter Cultural Anthropology Methods became in 1989 the Cultural Anthropology Methods Journal, often called the CAM journal.[2]

In 1999, the CAM journal changed its name to Field Methods, with H. Russell Bernard continuing as its editor.[3]

Scope

Field Methods is a source of information for scholars, students and professionals alike. The journal publishes articles including descriptions of methodological advances, advice on the use of specific field techniques and help with both qualitative and quantitative methods. The journal also contains essays and book and software reviews.[4]

We started with a newsletter, Cultural Anthropology Methods, sometimes referred to as the CAM Newsletter. Most of the editorial work and logistics for the CAM was managed by Russ Bernard and his team of colleagues and graduate students at the University of Florida. Quite soon, the CAM newsletter transformed into a full-scale journal, beginning in 1989.
