Dear everyone, I am writing to inform you of a multidisciplinary online research methods forum called Methodspace. This is a SAGE publishing initiative envisaged as a focal point for all academics, postgraduate students and professionals engaged in research methods. Methodspace provides information on conferences, training and funding opportunities. It is also an environment where methodological issues and best practice are discussed and users can seek assistance with everyday research concerns. By creating an account you can actively contribute to the material of the site. Under ‘Events' we have created a whole section dedicated to training facilities. Discussion on research methods has already started in some groups such as: a Narrative Research group,a critical realism and biographical research one, a qualitative inquiry group. Here is an invitation to the site, as while beta testing the site can only be accessed via invite: http://sagemethodology.ning.com/?xgi=hPPD5Yu (If the invite does not work, please email me on: [log in to unmask] and I will be able to invite you directly from the site.) I hope you find this useful, Alex Cuncev Research Student Sociology Department University of Surrey [log in to unmask]
