Cases are original, specially commissioned, and designed to help students understand often abstract methodological concepts by introducing them to case studies of real research projects. Available as an add-on to SAGE Research Methods or as a stand-alone product, SRMC includes original case studies of real research projects and research scenarios written by the researchers themselves.
