We solve a problem posed by E. Yalçin on the cohomology length of a p-group P, by providing bounds for the group theoretical invariant s(P) when p>2. These bounds improve the known bounds on the cohomology length of p-groups for odd p.

On obtient une borne pour la longueur cohomologique d'un p-groupe fini, p>2, résolvant ainsi un problème posé par E. Yalçin.
