This chapter analyzes journal articles from five Western European national and three European international political science journals from a methodological point of view. It relies on an original dataset, comprising around 30 variables and covering the decade between 2010 and 2020 as well as two reference years, 2000 and 1990. After a literature review which shows that there is a need for a systematic overview of the application of political science methods (while it acknowledges the broad rather ad hoc contributions by others), some bibliometric data is given. The chapter then describes the somewhat surprising similarity between the methodological trends to be found in the journals under research and—even more interestingly—the rare but notable deviances from the general trend. Regression techniques can be described as the winner of our methodological ranking, but the application and appreciation of methods is not only limited to the quantitative world. In terms of scope of the analysis, techniques seem to be chosen appropriately with regard to the goals of the empirical study. With regard to gender questions, there might indeed be evidence for the stereotype being true that female authors prefer qualitative and male authors quantitative methods, but this might be an artifact of different author team constellations in which male and gender-mixed author teams dominate over female-only teams.
