Setting the stage – What are Research Methods?

Research Methods are the recognized,

systematic techniques to gather information

and test theories in the social and behavioral

sciences

Page 20: SAGE Knowledge

Los Angeles | London | New DelhiSingapore | Washington DC

Setting the stage – Why are they important?• The study of these methods helps researchers

gather data in an accepted manner in order to produce accurate results

• Without research we have no way of confirming what we think we know

• Replication of research is needed in order to validate findings

• Broadly applicable to all social and behavioral science disciplines

Page 21: SAGE Knowledge

Los Angeles | London | New DelhiSingapore | Washington DC

Setting the stage – SAGE is market leader in Research Methods

● Research methods have always been at the core of SAGE’s publishing program

● George McCune and Sarah Miller McCune founded SAGE in 1965

● SAGE’s first methods book, Public Policy Evaluation was published in 1970

Page 22: SAGE Knowledge

Los Angeles | London | New DelhiSingapore | Washington DC

● QASS series – “Little Green Books”

• Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences launched in 1976● In the 1980s SAGE invested heavily in

publishing qualitative methods titles at a time when the field was regarded as outside of the mainstream

● “Little Blue Books” – Qualitative Research Methods series

● 1994 publication of the first edition of Denzin & Lincoln’s qualitative research handbook

● SAGE launched the Journal of Mixed Methods Research in 2007

48 years and two million Little Green Books later,SAGE continues to push the boundaries with agrowing list of more than 1,200 research methodsbooks, journals, and reference works across thesocial, behavioral, and health sciences.

The next logical step…

● Assembled a SAGE research methods Editorial Board

● Conducted market research

● Discovered there was a real need for more research

methods material to be online

● Our focus in online delivery should be to support browse

and discovery

● Desire for content to support a breadth of queries from a

wide range of researchers

Unique taxonomy

● SAGE developed a new taxonomy of social science research methods to support this product

● Containing over 1,400 unique terms this is, to our knowledge, the most comprehensive taxonomy of its kind

● Every chapter and reference entry has been tagged with terms from the ontology, an operation that has been editorially reviewed for every single item

● This one-of-a-kind taxonomy links together SAGE’s content like never before

Page 31: SAGE Knowledge

Los Angeles | London | New DelhiSingapore | Washington DC

The taxonomy supports the following core areas, and includes not only methods terms and concepts, but also key people in the field.

Page 32: SAGE Knowledge

Los Angeles | London | New DelhiSingapore | Washington DC

Methods Map

SAGE Research Methods allows you to create a visual search “map” from the taxonomy that links methods or authors. The Methods Map has a save/download/print feature and a breadcrumb trail beneath it to easily return to a previous place in the search.
