Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has announced the launch of a new collection of streaming videos hosted on the SAGE Research Methods (SRM) platform, Practical Research and Academic Skills. Building upon SAGE's extensive history of methods publishing across the wide range of the social and behavioural sciences, the videos teach the foundational skills needed to conduct research at any level and to succeed in academic life.
The collection includes 440 videos and 62 hours of content and was designed to give students and researchers the basic instruction and the confidence needed to successfully complete research projects and the skills to accelerate their professional development. Topics covered in the videos include: Project Management; Writing a research proposal; Securing ethical approval; Writing for publication; Computer applications; Applied research; Research careers & building networks; Presenting at conferences; Building Networks; and many more.
The videos are hosted on the SRM platform, an expansive research methods library with more than 1,000 books, reference works, journal articles, and instructional videos by world-leading academics from across the social sciences.
SAGE began publishing streaming videos in 2015 to support pedagogical, curricular and research needs across the social sciences. Titled SAGE Video, the nine collections include Business & Management, Counseling & Psychotherapy, Criminology & Criminal Justice, Education, Media, Communication & Cultural Studies, Politics & International relations, Psychology, Sociology, and the collections associated with SRM.
Instructors looking to utilise the videos in the classroom can create clips of relevant content, customise video play speed, and embed videos or clips into webpages and course management systems, among other features. Users can also download video transcripts, follow along as the transcripts scroll on the screen during playback, and click on any word within the transcripts to go to that point in the video.
