About this space Edit

The Social Research Wiki deals with all the elements of research involving human participants. The topics range from epistemology to ethics to ethnography to focus groups. There are also topics on qualitative and quantitative methods.

This wiki it is hoped, will become an important resource for people working in this field. It will contain articles on theory and practice, list important journals and feature biographies of prominent people in the field.

The current collboration entry is Social Research. It is the primary entry for this wiki. Please help improve it.

There is currently one administrator of this wiki. Please feel free to leave messages for him on his talk page at http://socialresearch.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Manutius
