Folia Sociologica (pierwszy numer ukazał się w 1980 r.) obejmuje szeroko rozumianą problematykę społeczną. Intencją redakcji jest publikowanie artykułów będących wynikiem oryginalnych badań empirycznych indywidualnych i zespołowych. Jesteśmy otwarci na różne paradygmaty teoretyczne i metodologiczne. W czasopiśmie chcemy zamieszczać artykuły mieszczące się w polu nauk społecznych i humanistycznych. Czekamy na teksty odwołujące się do klasycznej i współczesnej refleksji socjologicznej, odnoszące się do wszystkich jej subdyscyplin. Zależy nam również na opracowaniach podejmujących problematykę łączącą socjologię z innymi dyscyplinami takimi jak: antropologia, etnografia, nauka o polityce, psychologia społeczna, psychosocjologia, demografia, nauka o zarządzaniu. Redakcja zaznacza jednak, że dąży do zakorzenienia profilu czasopisma w tradycji socjologicznej, stąd artykuły o takim charakterze będą miały pierwszeństwo przy decyzji o ich publikacji. Przygotowywane tomy mogą mieć charakter monograficzny bądź też być przeglądem publikacji dotyczących różnych sfer życia społecznego. Każdy tom redagowany jest przez osobę czuwającą nad jego poprawnością merytoryczną.
