什么是社交网络分析？

What is Social Network Analysis?

ISBN：978-7-5446-6420-2

出版时间：2020-09

作者：[英] 约翰·司各特（John Scott） 著

定价：30.00元（限时优惠：21.00元）

This book introduces the non-specialist reader to the principal ideas, nature and purpose of social network analysis. Social networks operate on many levels, from families up to the level of nations, and play a critical role in determining the way problems are solved, organizations are run, and the degree to which individuals achieve their goals. Social network theory maps these relationships between individual actors. Though relatively new on the scene it has become hugely influential across the social sciences.

Assuming no prior knowledge of quantitative sociology, this book presents the key ideas in context through examples and illustrations. Using a structured approach to understanding work in this area, John Scott signposts further reading and online sources so readers can develop their knowledge and skills to become practitioners of this research method. A series of Frequently Asked Questions takes the reader through the main objections raised against social network analysis and answers the various queries that will come up once the reader has worked his/ her way through the book.

什么是在线研究？

What is Online Research?

ISBN：978-7-5446-6503-2

出版时间：2020-09

作者：[英] 特罗斯特拉·胡利（Tristram Hooley）等 著

定价：30.00元（限时优惠：21.00元）

The massive expansion of the internet into every aspect of our lives creates a challenge for social researchers can they simply transfer their traditional methods and techniques online or do they need to reinvent research methods for the new environment？As online research becomes increasingly prevalent it becomes more important for researchers to have an answer to these questions and an approach to conducting research online. This book is a straightforward, accessible introduction to social research online.

It covers the key issues and concerns for social scientists: online surveys, focus groups, interviews, ethnographies and experiments, as well as discussing the implications of social media, and of online research ethics. It provides a detailed, up-to-date glossary and  bibliography for those new to the area. Short, clear case studies throughout allow students to see examples of the research in practice. Wide-ranging and interdisciplinary, What is Online Research？shows social scientists of all levels — from undergraduates to established researchers — how to engage in the online environment in appropriate ways, and points the way forward for future research.

什么是话语分析？

What is Discourse Analysis?

ISBN：978-7-5446-6441-7

出版时间：2020-09

作者：[英] 斯蒂芬妮·泰勒 （Stephanie Taylor） 著

定价：30.00元（限时优惠：21.00元）

What is Discourse Analysis? is an accessible  introductory guide to a popular and widely-used qualitative research approach.

Discourse analysts in the social sciences work with many forms of language data, including talk, documents, online material and news media. They investigate interactions and social practices, meaning-making and larger meaning systems and contests and conflicts around collective identities, social norms and subjectification.

This book offers a coherent and wide-ranging introduction to different theoretical and practical traditions of discourse analysis. Discussions of published studies illustrate how social scientists have used discourse analysis in research on a range of important topics, including nationalism, racism, gender, organizations and leadership and health.

The book introduces the premises underlying different traditions of discourse analysis. It sets out the processes through which discourse analytic researchers produce findings which become evidence for new academic arguments. It provides clear practical guidance on conducting discourse analytic research, including data collection, selection and management and transcription. It also answers some common criticisms of discourse analysis and discusses its challenges. The book concludes with a helpful glossary of key terms.

What is Discourse Analysis？ has been written for all social science researchers interested in working with language data. It is particularly suitable for new researchers planning to conduct discourse analytic research and for students on research methods courses.

什么是定量纵向数据分析？

What is Quantitative Longitudinal Data Analysis?

ISBN：978-7-5446-6362-5

出版时间：2020-09

作者：弗农·盖尔（Vernon Gayle），保罗·兰伯特（Paul Lambert） 著

定价：30.00元（限时优惠：21.00元）

Across the social sciences, there is widespread agreement that quantitative longitudinal research provides powerful scientific data resources. Many texts on analysing longitudinal social surveys have been written from a statistical, rather than a social science, data analysis perspective and they lack adequate coverage of common practical challenges associated with social science data analyses.

This book provides a practical and up-to-date introduction to influential approaches to quantitative longitudinal data analysis in the social sciences, defining key terms and explaining the relative attractions of longitudinal design and techniques of analysis.

相信本丛书的出版能够满足对社会科学研究感兴趣的读者的阅读需求，引领他们进入社会科学研究的学术园地。
