How to report on the content of the first twenty issues of Cliopsy? This is the question the author aimed to answer by putting himself in the place of a reader discovering the journal and wishing to analyze its content on the basis of measurable elements. To do this, he began by identifying the elements that could relate to each published text. Next, he drew up a typology of all these texts based primarily on the titles of the different sections appearing in the journal. He then turned his attention to the authors of the research papers and the authors of the reviews. This method quantitatively highlights a number of characteristics of these authors and draws some information from them that demonstrates aspects of the journal that are not immediately apparent.
