Introduction
(return
to top)
An
important element to all the RCBN's activities is to consider the use
and applicability of combining methods and datasets from different sources
and of different types (e.g. 'qualitative' and 'quantitative'). Many of
these activities overlap with other RCBN themes, particularly 'The
Path from Studies to Evidence', 'Use
of large-scale secondary datasets', 'Research
Design Issues', 'The Role of Numbers',
and 'Building on Research Expertise'.
Please make sure you visit these other themes for activities relating
to combining methods.

22 October 2003, From research questions to
research design, Brighton
Research questions are fundamental to the conduct of social scientific
investigation but are often only given cursory attention in discussions
of research design and methods. The formulation of research questions
is a necessary prerequisite for the conduct of certain kinds of study,
yet there is relatively little written about the processes of generating
research ideas and formulating, developing and refining research questions.
This workshop explores many of these issues and is primarily for new
researches (15 places). Please click
here for more information about this two-day workshop.
