Inclusive Research : Research Methods
First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Inclusive Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series. This book describes and defines inclusive research, outlining how to recognize it, understand it, do it, and know when it is done well.In doing so it addresses the areas of overlap and distinctiveness in relation to participatory, emancipatory, user-led and partnership research as well as exploring the various practices encompassed within each of these inclusive approaches. The author, Melanie Nind, focuses on how and why more inclusive approaches to research have evolved.She positions inclusive research within the key debates and shifts in policy, defines key ideas and terms, discusses the contested nature of inclusive research and illustrates a range of approaches using exemplars.The aim is to discuss the range of challenges involved and to examine the degree to which these challenges have so far been met.

Narrative Research : Research Methods
First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Narrative Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series. Narrative research has become a catchword in the social sciences today, promising new fields of inquiry and creative solutions to persistent problems.This book brings together ideas about narrative from a variety of contexts across the social sciences and synthesizes understandings of the field.Rather than focusing on theory, it examines how narrative research is conducted and applied.It operates as a practical introductory guide, basic enough for first-time researchers, but also as a window onto the more complex questions and difficulties that all researchers in this area face.The authors guide readers through current debates about how to obtain and analyse narrative data, about the nature of narrative, the place of the researcher, the limits of researcher interpretations, and the significance of narrative work in applied and in broader political contexts. This new edition includes updated references and a greater focus on digitality throughout.It addresses social justice and decoloniality more explicitly, centrally and consistently, drawing on examples around Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, climate change and Extinction Rebellion, and Covid and pandemic narratives.

Online Research : Research Methods
First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Online Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series. This book provides a concise and accessible introduction to online research, covering ethics, surveys, focus groups, ethnographies, experiments and the gathering and analysis of naturally occurring digital/big data.It also asks how researchers should use the digital environment to communicate their research and looks forward to the future of the field, asking what the next ten years hold.Online research is rarely well served by the direct translation of onsite methods onto the internet.Rather, researchers need to reflect, adapt and redesign research as they change the mode through which they conduct their research.Featuring an updated glossary, two new chapters and comprehensive updates throughout, this new edition provides new and experienced researchers with the foundation they need to conduct online research projects.

Research Design in Social Research
`With this book David de Vaus has written one of the best general research methods textbooks around.The use of different types of research design as the point of departure is a different and very helpful approach to take, especially since many textbooks confuse issues of method and design.The author outlines with great clarity a wide variety of issues, including testing theories, causation, data analysis, and the main considerations involved in using the different research designs covered.Both students and their instructors will find this an extremely valuable, well-written book' - Professor Alan Bryman, University of Loughborough`A wonderful opportunity for research design students and practitioners to think more about the planning and process of research design' - Forum for Qualitative Social ResearchThis book is intended to show social science students the importance of attending to design issues when undertaking social research. One of the main problems in doing practical research is that design and structure are inappropriate for the uses of research.They often do not support the conclusions that are drawn from it.Several research methods books focus on data collection strategy and statistical analysis. While these issues are pertinent, this book argues that the core of research methods is the structure and design of the research. The book:- provides students with a clear understanding of the importance of research design and its place in the research process. - describes the main types of research designs in social research. - explains the logic and purposes of design to enable students to evaluate particular research strategies- equips students with the design skills to operate in real world research situationsThe book is divided into five parts. Part One explores issues about types of research, research concepts, research questions, causality and basic issues in the design process. The remaining four parts focus on different types of research design. Experimental, longitudinal, cross-sectional and case-study methods are clearly and systematically examined, and their strengths and weaknesses are described. The result is a one-stop critical guide to design in social research that students and researchers will find invaluable.

Qualitative Longitudinal Research : Research Methods
First published Open Access under a Creative Commons license as What is Qualitative Longitudinal Research?, this title is now also available as part of the Bloomsbury Research Methods series. This volume offers a new introduction to an evolving research method in the social sciences.Qualitative Longitudinal (QL) research is conducted through time.In its qualitative dimensions it opens up the potential to ‘think dynamically’ in creative, flexible and innovative ways.QL enquiry is rooted in a long-established tradition of qualitative temporal research, spanning the fields of social anthropology, sociological re-studies and biographical research.But over the past two decades, a growing body of scholarship has begun to document this approach and explore its theoretical underpinnings.This in turn has fuelled a growing interest in and rapid uptake of QL methodology across the disciplines and in international context. This practical volume will be a first port of call for students and researchers wishing to use QL research in their own projects.The chapters follow a logical development, from conceptual and methodological foundations, to research practice and ethics, to the generation and analysis of data.Each chapter offers practical examples drawn from the research field to illustrate key themes and the rich possibilities for new applications.
