Researching methods for social work have undergone several changes in the recent past, particularly in the areas of research designs, techniques of data collection, analysis of data, and computer application in social work research. Against this background, a seminar was held in August 2006 at the Roda Mistry College of Social Work and Research Centre, Hyderabad (India).
