QualQuant.net is a site dedicated to social research methodsqualitative
and quantitative alike. It's grounded in a simple idea expressed by H.
Russell Bernard in his introduction to the Handbook of Methods in Cultural
Anthropology (1998):
| "Whatever our epistemological differences,
the actual methods by which we collect and analyze our data belong
to everyone across the social sciences." |
|
- H. Russell Bernard

We believe that social researchers should be fluent in the full range
of methods for collecting and analyzing data. The questions we ask, rather
than ideological commitments, drive the choice of one method over another
in any particular situation. This website aims to help researchers choose
the right tools, emphasizing the integration and complementary applications
of qualitative and quantitative data and analysis. We feature the following
sections:
