Academic publisher SAGE, US, has announced that its new online research tool SAGE Research Methods Online (SRMO) will be developed by iFactory, the web design and online publishing platform designing arm of the RDW Group. SRMO is designed to support researchers and students with their selection and understanding of research methods in social and behavioural sciences.
More than 100,000 pages of SAGE’s book and reference material on research methods will be available through SRMO, enhanced with editorially selected material from SAGE journals. In total, over 500 books will be available, including the complete Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences’ ‘Little Green Books’ series.
SRMO will seek to provide advanced search and discovery tools to support researchers as they explore relevant content across the social and behavioural sciences, covering quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods. A visual ‘methods map’ will enable exploration of the connections between more than 2,000 methods, theories and terms. SRMO’s ‘methods lists’ function will enable users to store and share selected content. It will be sold as a subscription product, with approximately 9,000 pages of new content added each year.
iFactory had earlier developed the SAGE Reference Online platform. The RDW unit provides web design and web application development for more than 150 organisations in a variety of industries including publishing, higher education, healthcare and non-profit. It has developed online publishing platforms for the past 10 years for various top publishers.
