Academic publisher SAGE has announced an updated edition of The SAGE Handbook of Online Research Methods. Following on from the success of the first edition, published in 2008, The SAGE Handbook of Online Research Methods, Second Edition, offers updates to areas such as computer assisted qualitative data analysis, as well as new chapters on advances in social media, big data, and data visualisation.
When The SAGE Handbook of Online Research Methods was first published, online research was regarded as a new medium of research and treated with caution. Today researchers are accustomed to online methods and skilled in their use. The SAGE Handbook of Online Research Methods is projected as an essential resource for anyone interested in the contemporary practice of computer-mediated research and scholarship.
According to Nigel G. Fielding, co-editor of The SAGE Handbook of Online Research Methods, a decade on from the first edition, the terrain occupied by online research methods has changed rapidly, social researchers across a wide range of social science disciplines have become much more familiar with such methods, more adept at their use, and more attuned to the issues and challenges that they pose. The primary purpose in this Handbook is to explore this terrain by highlighting across a wide range of areas the key facets of online research methods and their implications for practice, as well as looking forward to the future of online social research.
