You and your colleagues are invited to use, and/or contribute to, an on-line databank of International Social Research Methods Case Studies now available athttp://www.restore.ac.uk/ISResMeth/ <http://www.restore.ac.uk/ISResMeth/> .
The databank is one of the outputs from an award under the UK Economic and Social Research Council's Researcher Development Initiative. The website is being hosted by ReStore, the Sustainable Web Resources Repository, under the auspices of the National Centre for Research Methods at the University of Southampton.
The databank was developed and tested in a series of training workshops in international social research methods funded under the ESRC initiative, and planned and delivered by Professors Julia Brannen (Institute of Education, London University) and Linda Hantrais (Loughborough University and London School of Economics), assisted by Dr Dave Filipovic-Carter (Education-Training Ltd).
The workshops were designed to meet the needs of researchers who are engaged in, embarking on or using social research with an international dimension. They targeted early career, as well as more senior, researchers, in all sectors (academia, local and central government, government agencies, voluntary and independent organisations) and from different cultures.
The website provides further information about the format and contents of the workshops, together with a searchable database of case studies and a guide to further reading on international social research methods, including the recently launched web companion to International Comparative Research at www.palgrave/research/hantrais <http://www.palgrave/research/hantrais> . The expanding databank of case studies takes readers through the stages of planning, designing and implementing international research projects in the social sciences.
Researchers who have participated in international social research projects are invited to submit proposals for methods case studies, using the Framework for International Social Research Methods Case Studies and the Proposal Form on the web page.
