What does SAGE Research Methods offer?

If you’re a final year student, it’s probably that time of year where you’re thinking about your dissertation. And if you are a 1st or 2nd year student, you also may want to know more about how research is conducted.

Are you confused by terms like correlation, sampling, or hypothesis? Do you wish you knew more about undertaking your own research project?

If the answer to these questions is YES! Then SAGE Research Methods could be what you’re looking for! It contains a large number of materials about all aspects of the research process and gives you information that you can apply in your own research project. These materials include:

  • Over 1000 textbooks
  • Reference books
  • Journal articles
  • Instructional videos from world leading academics
  • Podcasts
