Drawing on an original data set of over 15,000 in-text citations, we use quantitative and qualitative techniques to analyze 37 award-winning publications in historical sociology between 1995 and 2015. We show that historical sociology comprises no fewer than four distinct analytic architectures that rely on different kinds of sources and use evidence and theory in different ways. We find suggestive evidence that the recognition of these different architectures has varied over time, such that award-winning works of historical sociology increasingly use architectures that favor the heavier use of primary sources and/or constructive theoretical syntheses. These findings suggest that analytic architectures are a consequential facet of the practice of social research that may yield important insights into dynamics of scholarly recognition, consecration, and methodological pluralism across the social sciences.

历史社会学家整天都在做什么？历史社会学中的分析架构

利用包含超过 15,000 条文本引用的原始数据集，我们使用定量和定性技术分析了 1995 年至 2015 年间历史社会学领域的 37 篇获奖出版物。我们表明，历史社会学包含不少于四种不同的分析架构，这些架构依赖于以不同的方式使用证据和理论。我们发现有启发性的证据表明，对这些不同架构的认可随着时间的推移而有所不同，因此历史社会学的获奖作品越来越多地使用支持大量使用主要来源和/或建设性理论综合的架构。这些发现表明，分析架构是社会研究实践的一个重要方面，它可能会对学术认可、奉献、
