Community Health & Epidemiology: Research Methods

Dictionaries, case studies, datasets, books, videos, and training materials on qualitative and quantitative research methods.

SAGE Research Methods Cases are stories of how real research projects were conducted. The collection provides more than 1100 case studies, showing the challenges and successes of doing research, written by the researchers themselves. They explain why the researchers chose the methods they did, how they overcame problems in their research and what they might have done differently with hindsight: the realities of research that are missing from journal articles and textbooks. Cases are peer-reviewed and come with pedagogical tools including learning objectives and discussions questions. They can be used as a teaching tool to demonstrate a particular method and how it is applied in real research, or as inspiration to students who are preparing for their own research project.

A collection of teaching datasets and instructional guides that give students a chance to learn data analysis techniques by practicing themselves. Datasets are drawn from real research and are indexed by method, discipline, and data type. Please note: We only have access to Datasets Part 2.

Introductory overviews to major research methods, covering their history, development and critical debates surrounding them.
