Social scientists have long relied on a wide range of tools to
collect information about the social world, but as individual
fields have become more specialised, researchers are trained to use
a narrow range of the possible data collection methods. This book,
first published in 2006, draws on a broad range of available social
data collection methods to formulate a set of data collection
approaches. The approaches described here are ideal for social
science researchers who plan to collect new data about people,
organisations, or social processes. Axinn and Pearce present
methods designed to create a comprehensive empirical description of
the subject being studied, with an emphasis on accumulating the
information needed to understand what causes what with a minimum of
error. In addition to providing methodological motivation and
underlying principles, the book is filled with detailed
instructions and concrete examples for those who wish to apply the
methods to their research.
