Sociological Methodology

The 2015 volume of Sociological Methodology continues a 47-year tradition of providing cutting-edge methodology for sociological research.  Under the editorship of Tim F. Liao, three features are prominent in this volume:

-Innovative and practical methods for substantive social science research.
-Contributions by both sociologists and nonsociologists that have important methodological implications for the social science
-Dedication to publishing purely methodological work that may benefit sociology and the broader social sciences.
