We discuss the inception and history of Behavior and Social Issues (BSI) and its predecessor journals, Behaviorists for Social Action Journal and Behavior Analysis and Social Action , as the journals approaches 40 years of publication. We offer an analysis of the past volumes of the journals to provide a status update on BSI . Data on BSI article impact, content, and frequent contributors indicate that the journal has served as a valuable outlet to discuss applications of behavior analysis to a range of social issues.
