Jag gillar böcker om forskningshantverket, som Howard S. Beckers Writing for Social Scientists, densammes Tricks of the Trade: How to Think About Your Research While You’re Doing It, Ludmila Jordanova, History in Practice med flera. Eszter Hargittai hÃ¥ller pÃ¥ att färdigställa en ny bok i samma genre:
the chapters in this book provide helpful behind-the-scenes accounts of doing empirical social science research for a wide range of methods such as use of secondary large-scale data sets, interviews, observations, experiments and historical documents. The unique contribution of this collection is that it provides readers with a realistic idea of what to expect when embarking on empirical investigations by offering richly detailed descriptions of the logistics of individual research projects.
