Resources

There are lots of resources for teaching research methods on the UK's National Centre for Research Methods website

An open access, free to download short comic to support the teaching of qualitative interviewing, written by Helen Kara and drawn by Sophie Jackson.

The National Education Association of the US has a collection of resources for teaching education research, many of which are applicable to other types of research and evaluation.

The US Institute of Museum and Library Services has a collection of resources on evaluation, many of which are applicable beyond museums and libraries.  

Similarly, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a collection of resources on evaluation, many of which are applicable beyond the health industry. 

The Higher Education pages of the Guardian website are a great resource.  These pages hold a vast quantity of useful information for researchers, and more is produced weekly. It's often worth reading the comments below articles as well as the articles themselves.

Blogs can be useful, too. Some blogs are institution-based, such as the excellent blog from the London School of Economics about the impact of social sciences.

Others are group blogs, such as the very useful Research Whisperer and Pat Thomson's blog is invaluable for anyone doing academic writing.

The EC-funded PRO-RES project collated a lot of resources on research ethics including information on education and training in research ethics.

If there are any essential resources we’ve left out, please let the publisher know by email to pp-marketing@bristol.ac.uk.
