Innovations in Digital Research Methods provides a??? timely, insightful survey of eResearch methods. It is an essential title that joins a select few in representing and substantiating digital methods knowledge in our field at this time.
This very-up-to-date volume provides an accessible introduction to innovative digital social research tools and methods that harness this "data deluge" and successfully tackle key research challenges. It provides a highly interdisciplinary survey of innovative digital research methods and uniquely blurs qualitative and quantitative approaches to provide insights for those new to digital research, but also for those more experienced in the field.
From machine learning tweets to ethical considerations of Big Data, this timely book provides a highly interdisciplinary survey of innovative digital research methods. The book uniquely blurs qualitative and quantitative approaches to provide refreshingly forward-looking insights for those new to digital research, but also for those more experienced in the field.
Informative and a nice read, my students will find this really helpful
This text provides a refreshing approach to research. A useful guide for researchers interested in digital methods.
Due to the massive amount of data that everyday is being created, I found this book a good guide for my students in research methods course.
This books brings clarity to what digital research methods are in relation to traditional ones. As we move towards using more digital data in our research this book provides some clarity as to how we might conduct reliable studies with new types of data.
This book was not adopted as the format of the course changed. It will of course be a valuable asset for part of the new study skills module.
A well-written text that gives a good overview from a theoretical and practical standpoint.
Current and highly recommended for all e-researchers.
This textbook is going to be adopted only as supplemental reading. The ideas discussed there are general and the text is lacking a more practical methodological discussion. The idea of eResearch is valid and is up-to-date. The motivation for doing digital research is presented well in this book. Just students in our university are looking for more practical guidance and examples from the methodological point of view.
I am recommending this book for students doing research online as it provides some interesting insights about digital methods. I was however hopeful it would provide more cutting edge approaches such as digital participatory methods. That is why it's not part of the essential reading list
This is a clearly written and very useful text covering the intricacies of digital data collection and the ethical issues.
An excellent text for exploring digital research methods. It is very useful for both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
A highly comprehensive introduction to this newest sphere of research methods. Very helpful.
Interesting insights into an emerging area of research
This book is ideal for undergraduate students embarking on a qualitative research project for the first time. The chapters are littered with practical examples and the activities and critical thinking questions allow the student to apply the key concepts to their own research in a way that de-mystifies the research process.
A good introduction for a novice to digital research. It addresses most of the key research topics in this field. Will be helpful to orientate undergraduates to different digital research methods and to motivate them to consider it to venture into eResearch.
Provides some good insights into digital research methods, which may help support students to develop their own line presence.
The book provides a contemporary overview of research methods in an increasingly digitalised world. The chapters on changing data in the social sciences and recognising new sources of data were particularly relevant and the case studies provide contextual information for students from different disciplines and backgrounds. The overview of research involving social media data is also timely and relevant.
