The SAGE Handbook of Case-Based

Methods

Sage Publications; 2009;

Edited By :

David Byrne and Charles C. Ragin


'This book provides a fresh and stimulating approach to causal analysis in the social sciences. International experts provide not just the philosophical arguments for a case-based approach to research but also detailed chapters on: 'why-to', 'when-to' and 'how-to'. Traditional distinctions between qualitative and quantitative are rejected in favour of a case-based approach which is applicable across the social sciences and beyond' - Professor Angela Dale, The University of Manchester Case-based methods have a long history in the social sciences. They are extensively used and raise many practical and theoretical questions. This book provides a comprehensive, critical examination of case-oriented research. It offers concrete proposals about the best research methods and provides an unparalleled guide to the emergence and complexity of the field.

Statistics for People Who (think they)

Hate Statistics


Fourth Edition

By : Neil J. Salkind


The Fourth Edition of Neil J. Salkind‘s bestselling text introduces

students to the fundamentals of basic statistics in an informative,

personable, and unintimidating way. The author expertly guides students

through various statistical procedures, beginning with basic descriptive

statistics and correlation and graphical representation of data and ending

with inferential techniques including analysis of variance.


Qualitative Inquiry & Research

Design


Second Edition

By : John W. Creswell


Like the bestselling First Edition, this new version explores the

philosophical underpinnings, history, and key elements of each of five

qualitative inquiry approaches: narrative research, phenomenology,

grounded theory, ethnography, and case study. Using an accessible and

engaging writing style, author John W. Creswell compares theoretical

frameworks, ways to employ standards of quality, and strategies for

writing introductions to studies, collecting data, analyzing data, writing a

narrative, and verifying results.


Interpreting Interview


By :

Mats Alvesson


Researchers conducting interviews in the social sciences quickly find

that there is no single best way to approach their task. This text offers a

critique of traditional interviewing practices and provides a framework for

thinking about issues such as trustworthiness, identity, and language in a

conceptual rather than technical context, allowing you to develop your

own reflexive practice.

The research interview is in with the brick and mortar of qualitative research, and is one of the routine methods of obtaining knowledge of individuals, groups, and organizations. Through the use of eight original metaphors drawing on trends in language, subject, and discourse, this cutting-edge text will encourage you to question the interpretive nature and theoretical underpinnings not only of your interview method, but of the knowledge which is conveyed through it.

This text is essential reading for graduate students of qualitative methods and researchers looking to more clearly conceptualize their interviewing practice and explore its theoretical basis.


Statistical Persuasion

Sage Publications; 2010

By :

Robert W. Pearson


This textbook focuses attention on the conceptual understanding of

statistics, the signposts of (in)appropriate research design and quality

measurement, the selection of the right statistical tools under different

conditions, and the presentation of substantive and technical results.

Key Features

Illustrates statistical and graphical procedures in SPSS and Excel through step-by-step instructions for the analysis of real-world examples and data problems in education, crime, government performance, and program evaluation

Clearly demonstrates the importance of sound research designs and

measurement as well as appropriate statistical procedures

Shows how to make persuasive as well as principled statistical arguments and presentations to nonacademic audiences

Embeds statistical analysis within a political framework, thus alerting students to the temptation to distort data and its interpretation, the limits of dispassionate analysis, and the conditions under which sound analysis can inform decisions


Quantitative Narrative Analysis


By :

Roberto Franzosi


Covering a number of disciplines, including linguistics, literary criticism,

computer science, and statistics, this book illustrates author Roberto

Franzosi‘s distinctive approach to the quantitative analysis of large

volumes of narrative texts. The author bases his approach on a rigorous

linguistic theory of narrative, rather than the ad-hoc approach typical of

content analysis. Focusing on statistical techniques that mirror key

narrative features, the book also shows how quantitative narrative

analysis (QNA) goes hand-in-hand with another technique of qualitative

data analysis: QCA (qualitative comparative analysis).

Key Features

Statistical analyses show how to examine words using different statistical approaches.

A hands-on approach shows how to use QNA

End-of-chapter summaries provide concise statements of what is covered in each chapter.

Question-and-answer sections provide easy access to the material for the novice.


Methods of

Critical Discourse Analysis


Second Edition

Edited By : Robert W. Pearson


This new edition has been updated throughout, with a new introduction

contextualizing the development of the CDA approach, and two entirely

new chapters on the ‗social actor approach‘ to CDA and the use of

quantitative corpus linguistic methods. The editors have brought together

contributions from leading experts in the field, who each introduce their

own approaches to CDA. Examples are included throughout,

demonstrating the value of the method in analyzing a variety of genres

of written material on a whole range of topics, including global warming,

leadership in management, and globalization.


How to do Your Case Study


By :

Gary Thomas


Case Study is one of the most widely applied methods of research and

instruction in use today. Cases are used to frame research, aid teaching

and help learning the world over. Yet, despite being so widely used,

there remains a great deal of uncertainty about what constitutes case

study research and how case studies should be designed and carried

out.

In this lucid, accessible and often witty new text, Gary Thomas introduces students and researchers to the basics of case study research. Using a wide range of real-life examples, this book sets how best to design and carry out case studies in the social sciences and humanities for those new to the method.


Designing and Conducting Mixed

Methods Research


Second Edition

By : John W. Creswell and

Vicki L. Plano Clark


Combining the latest thinking about mixed methods research designs

with practical, step-by-step guidance, the Second Edition of Designing

and Conducting Mixed Methods Research now covers six major

mixed methods designs. Authors John W. Creswell and Vicki L. Plano

Clark walk readers through the entire research process, from formulating

questions to designing, collecting data, and interpreting results and

include updated examples from published mixed methods studies drawn

from the social, behavioral, health, and education disciplines.


Designing Qualitative Research


Fifth Edition

By : Catherine Marshall and Gretchen B. Rossman


Providing students in applied social and behavioral science disciplines

with invaluable guidance on developing and successfully defending

qualitative research proposals, the Fifth Edition of this bestselling text

offers expanded coverage of ethics, data analysis, and research design

techniques. Authors Catherine Marshall and Gretchen B. Rossman cover

distance-based research (such as email interviews); the implications of

postmodern turns; integrating archival material; and creative ways of

presenting the research. The authors include updates to popular

features, such as vignettes that illustrate the methodological challenges

today's qualitative researcher face.


Ethnography step-by-step


Third Edition

By : David M. Fetterman


The Third Edition of Ethnography: Step-by-Step guides readers in

collecting and making sense of large amounts of ethnographic data. It

also offers current discussion about the use of technology in the pursuit

of ethnography. Fundamentally, however, it demonstrates how

ethnography is more than a methodological approach. For David M.

Fetterman, ethnography is a way of life.


Case Study Research


By :

Peter Swanborn


Case Study Research: What, Why and How? is an authoritative and

nuanced exploration of the many faces of case-based research

methods. As well as the what, how, and why, the author also examines

the when and which – always with an eye on practical applications to the

design, collection, analysis, and presentation of the research.

Case study methodology can prove a confusing and fragmented topic. In bringing diverse notions of case study research together in one volume and sensitizing the reader to the many varying definitions and perceptions of 'case study', this book equips researchers at all levels with the knowledge to make an informed choice of research strategy.


Conducting Research Literature

Reviews


Third Edition

By : Arlene Fink


The Third Edition of Conducting Literature Reviews: From the

Internet to Paper provides readers with an accessible but in-depth look

at how to synthesize research literature. Bestselling author Arlene Fink

shows researchers how to justify the need for and significance of

research, and explain a study‘s findings.


Models for Social

Networks with Statistical

Applications


By: Suraj Bandyopadhyay,

A R. Rao and Bikas K. Sinha


Written by a sociologist, a graph theorist, and a statistician, this title

provides social network analysts and students with a solid statistical

foundation from which to analyze network data. Clearly demonstrates

how graph-theoretic and statistical techniques can be employed to study

some important parameters of global social networks. The authors uses

real life village-level social networks to illustrate the practicalities,

potentials, and constraints of social network analysis (―SNA‖). They also

offer relevant sampling and inferential aspects of the techniques while

dealing with potentially large networks.


Constructing Grounded Theory


By: Kathy Charmaz


Kathy Charmaz is one of the world's leading theorists and exponents of

grounded theory. In this important and essential new textbook, she

introduces the reader to the craft of using grounded theory in social

research, and provides a clear, step-by-step guide for those new to the

field.

Using worked examples throughout, this book also maps out an alternative vision of grounded theory put forward by its founding thinkers, Glaser and Strauss. To Charmaz, grounded theory must move on from its positivist origins and must incorporate many of the methods and questions posed by constructivists over the past twenty years to become a more nuanced and reflexive practice.


Introducing Survival and Event

History Analysis


By:

Melinda Mills


Written for accessibility, this book will appeal to students and

researchers who want to understand the basics of survival and event

history analysis and apply these methods without getting entangled in

mathematical and theoretical technicalities. Inside, readers are offered a

blueprint for their entire research project from data preparation to model

selection and diagnostics.

Engaging, easy to read, functional and packed with enlightening examples, ‗hands-on‘ exercises, conversations with key scholars and resources for both students and instructors, Introducing Survival and Event History Analysis allows researchers to quickly master advanced statistical techniques. This unique book is written from the perspective of the ‗user‘, making it suitable as both a self-learning tool and graduate-level textbook.


Grounded Theory: a Practical

Guide


By: Melanie Dirks and

Jane Mills


This is a highly practical book which introduces the whole range of

grounded theory approaches. Unlike most existing books in this area,

which are written from a particular philosophical standpoint, this text

provides a comprehensive description of the strategies and techniques

employed in this methodology.

Birks and Mills accessible and highly-readable text is driven by practical case examples throughout to help the reader get to grips with the process of doing grounded theory analysis for themselves. The book deploys a variety of educational activities to guide readers through both the principles and the application of grounded theory, making this an ideal starter text for those new to the approach.

This is an ideal first introduction to grounded theory for any student or researcher looking to use grounded theory approaches in their analysis for the first time.


Analysis in Qualitative Research


By:

Hennie Boeije


This book helps readers prepare and successfully finish qualitative data

analysis. It sets out an easy to grasp model—the spiral of analysis—that

shows how to break up the data with coding and how to subsequently

integrate the data to yield a meaningful picture of the phenomenon under

study. It offers useful devices to guide the reader through the last difficult

integrating phase of qualitative analysis including diagramming,

memoing, thinking aloud, and using one‘s feelings.

The book incorporates the support of software for qualitative data analysis. The analysis is placed in the context of modern quality criteria and the demands posed on the reporting. The book cannot take the place of the process of thinking about the data, but it does provide thinking aids and practical tools to process the data, which can result in interesting findings.


Focus Group: a Practical Guide for

Applied Research


Fourth Edition

By : Richard A. Krueger

and Mary Anne Casey


Authors Richard A. Krueger & Mary Anne Casey describe how one can

set up and conduct quality and effective focus group interviews. The

process depicted is unbiased, non-judgmental and is respectful of all

views. It is a deliberate and systematic way of listening that is helpful to

public and private organizations as they listen to stakeholders,

customers, and employees.

This book cuts through the theory and gives hand-on advice to those who are seeking to actually conduct a focus group. It is most helpful for conducting focus groups for research or evaluation with public, non-profit, educational, health, human service, and religious organizations.
