鉴于此,上海外语教育出版社又从布鲁姆斯伯里( Bloomsbury)出版集团了一套普及学术丛书“‘什么是’研究方法系列”,深入浅出地介绍社会科学中的常用研究方法和问题。丛书主题涉及社交网络分析、在线研究、话语分析、日记法、质研究、质访谈、质研究伦理、定量纵向数据分析等领域。每一分册均以“什么是……”命名,围绕一个主题,梳理该领域发展概况,阐释关键术语,介绍前沿成果或通过案例分析展示该研究方法的实际应用情况,并通过书目或参考书目为读者延伸阅读提供指导。各分册作者均为相关领域的研究者,思路清晰,言简意赅。
相信本丛书的出版能够满足对社会科学研究感兴趣的读者的阅读需求,他入社会科学研究的学术园地。
丛书个别分册提及一些研究,用于辅助论述。编辑已对内行必要的核查。考虑到内容实时更新,仍请读者在查阅时注意甄别。
