Two new tools for improving research and getting published!

Introducing a couple of great new resources here at the Brock University Library:




SAGE Research Methods Online (SRMO) is a research methods tool created to help researchers, faculty and students with their research projects. Use SRMO to:
  • find links to over 100,000 pages of SAGE’s book, journal and reference content
  • explore methods concepts for designing research projects
  • understand particular methods or identify a new method
Graduate students will love using the Methods Map, a visual search tool that helps researchers explore research methods terms, methodologies, and people in the field. Take a tour!








Cabell's Directories of Publishing Opportunities is another new resource that I have wanted to get for a long time! This online directory replaces the print directories that you may have used a the Brock Library or at Hamilton Campus. This resource helps professors, graduate students, and researchers publish their manuscripts in academic journals by providing contact information for journals, as well as guidelines and submission information, type of review (blind or not), acceptance rates and more!

Contact me with any questions you may have about these great new tools. Interested in a workshop or tutorial? Would you like me to demo SAGE Research Methods in your research methods class? Just let me know!
