Sociological Methodology, Volume 36, 2006

Sociological Methodology is a compendium of new and sometimes controversial advances in social science methodology. Contributions come from diverse areas and have something useful – and often surprising – to say about a wide range of topics ranging from legal and ethical issues surrounding data collection to the methodology of theory construction. In short, Sociological Methodology holds something of value – and an interesting mix of lively controversy, too – for nearly everyone who participates in the enterprise of sociological research.
