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.

Imbued with their deep commitment to making methods accessible and
meaningful, authors Dahlia K. Remler and Gregg G. Van Ryzin compel
students to truly grasp the logic—and limits—of the latest research
appearing in academic journals, government reports, and the media. The
authors make the coverage spark, emphasizing the critical interpretation
and practical application of research findings throughout the text by
focusing on causation and real-life data.

Research Design and Research Methods in applied disciplines including
public affairs/administration, public policy, urban affairs, education,
sociology, social work, public health, economics, and criminal justice,
this text sets a whole new standard for presenting and learning research
methods.

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.
