Summary/Abstract: Contemporary sociological science is increasingly being characterized by a positivist, therefore, the orientation on the empirical research of social problems. If there is, however, about the Bosnian-Herzegovinian sociology, there are many unexplored issues in the field of empirical sociological research – and the greater is the number of causes of it. Methodological problems, of course, are one of the major manifestations of those causes- the problems in the area of quantitative as well as those in the field of qualitative sociological research. Some of the other dimensions of the problem should not be ignored - the issue of ethics in sociological research, the problem of a single database in the field of sociology, as well as the research in the field of social sciences in general, and the like. And all of that is analyzed in the context of this paper.
