Your whiskers get to tingling. Oh yes, it’s clear: you have a Cat Hunch. If you could collect and analyze the right sort of data, there’s something powerful that you could prove. But how do you query reality in ways that generate legible insights, or turn jumbles of scraps, spreadsheets of values, or long spools of stories into something resembling “knowledge”?
You must have a method for the madness!
That’s where Sage Research Methods enters the fray: to equip those tingling whiskers with the tools to transform a hunch, a jumble, or a loose narrative into true insight.
With more than 1000 books, articles, and instructional videos from leading academics, Sage Research Methods has materials to guide users through every step of the research process, whether you’re writing your very first research paper or sketching out the final chapter of your dissertation.
And as the calendar turns to November and Final Paper Season begins in earnest, Cats may find Sage’s Project Planner particularly useful. Discover helpful hints for formulating research questions, collecting data, and analyzing and disseminating results.
Case studies, video tutorials, and the largest collection of qualitative methods books available online from any scholarly publisher ensure that Cats can learn a little – or a whole lot – about methods pertaining to disciplines across the social, natural, and health sciences.
For those less familiar with the research process, the Methods Map can help pinpoint the best technique for each user’s particular project.
The resource also contains 1100 case studies – written by researchers, explaining why they chose the methods they did, how they overcame problems, and what they might have done differently – along with a collection of teaching datasets that give students a chance to learn data analysis by practicing it themselves.
Do not let your whiskers tingle in the void! Furnish them with the tools of the trade: to tame the madness and corral it into the bright light of Knowledge.
