Cases

Sage Research Methods Cases are stories of how real research projects were conducted, written by the researchers themselves. They explain why the researchers chose the methods they did, how they overcame problems in their research and what they might
have done differently with hindsight: the realities of research that are missing from journal articles and textbooks.

Cases appear alongside other content on Sage Research Methods on the homepage tiles, or you can browse cases by method, discipline and academic level at methods.sagepub.com/cases

Each case contains:

1. Learning objectives
2. Exercises and discussion questions
3. Links to published articles about the study when available
