AlterLab Social Science Methods
Guides advanced social science research methods — discourse analysis (Fairclough CDA, Gee), conversation analysis, quantitative content analysis, Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), process tracing, archival research, participatory/community-based research (PAR, CBPR), Delphi and Q methodology, social network analysis (SNA), bibliometrics and scientometrics, systematic mapping reviews, and program/policy evaluation. Use when designing or conducting any of these studies — choosing a specialized method, building a coding scheme, establishing causal mechanisms in case studies, mapping relational or subjective data, or applying an evaluation framework. For interpretive coding (thematic analysis, grounded theory, IPA, ethnography) use alterlab-qualitative-methods; for qual+quant integration use alterlab-mixed-methods; to run QCA, SNA, or text-as-data analyses on data use alterlab-qca, alterlab-sna, or alterlab-text-as-data.
