Academic publisher SAGE Publishing has announced the release of SAGE Research Methods Datasets Part 2, a collection of 300 new datasets that demonstrate how-to support for data analysis, and SAGE Research Methods Video: Data Science, Big Data Analytics, and Digital Methods. With these additions, SAGE adds to its growing collection of resources that aid in the facilitation of data source training and data comprehension and analysis.
SAGE Research Methods Datasets Part 2 is a collection of datasets intended to support the learning and teaching of quantitative and qualitative analytical methods across the social sciences. The datasets are taken from real research projects and edited by statisticians, professors, lecturers and academics from around the world for use. Each dataset is accompanied by a step-by-step guide to walk users through the analysis technique being demonstrated, including software guides for quantitative methods.
As part of the collection’s expansion, the datasets cover additional methods, such as data management, network data techniques and quantitative geography-specific methods, the software package Python and more examples from across the social sciences. These 300 new datasets allow students to see how analytic decisions are made and use real data to practice analysis, helping them become confident researchers.
Containing 120 hours of streaming video, the Data Science, Big Data Analytics, and Digital Methods video collection covers data science methods, issues and challenges surrounding big data research and examples and applications of computational social science.
SAGE’s history of supporting the development of social science research methods dates to the 1970s and includes the publication of the Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences series, known as the ‘Little Green Books,’ supporting the development of evaluation and mixed methods, and later, creating digital tools that teach an expanding list of methodologies. Most recently, the company launched SAGE Ocean, an initiative to help social scientists navigate vast data sets and work with new technologies with a dedicated incubation team that is constantly developing new resources and tools.
The award-winning SAGE Research Methods platform features book and reference titles, cases, datasets, video and, coming Fall 2019, a new comprehensive reference work written by methods experts from around the world. The platform’s coverage spans the full range of research methods used in the social and behavioural sciences, as well as a wide range of methods commonly used in science, technology, medicine and the humanities.
