Editor's Notes
- “In the past two years over 90 percent of the world’s data has been created. The digital trails produced by us all as we go about our daily life (via smartphones, transportation, payment interactions) contain huge potential for social research. Although we currently live in the “Information Age” what we actually generate, and most of the time fail to make meaningful use of, is data. The Australian government’s Productivity Commission late last year released a report that highlights the economic, health and social costs of Australia’s failure to make effective use of the increasing data produced within Australia. Currently, it estimates that companies, governments and researchers are only making use of just 5 percent of the useful data that is currently available. What this means is that if the recommendations are accepted and become law, private and public organisations will have to do more to catalogue and publish what data is held, share it more widely and in particular allow individuals with access and more direct control. Perhaps a bigger challenge however is the lack of people with the right skills to handle and analyze data. Universities are only recently starting to focus on data science and related degrees and even then, the focus is on the analysis part and not on the other skills required for making use of information produced from these activities in an organisation or in government. http://www.methodspace.com/challenges-remain-even-increased-access-data/
- Social researchers face a number of hurdles as they look to develop the capacity to collect and analyse these vast and varied datasets, potentially produced in real time. New tools are needed to collect and process these data, including volumes of unstructured text requiring new ways to bring together qualitative and quantitative research skills. New statistical and programming skills are needed, and are emerging both within the social sciences and through new interdisciplinary collaborations ( Secondary data available through social media channels like Twitter raise questions of representation and bias as well as questions of privacy and informed consent that require us to develop about new ethical frameworks. The theme for the conference is Data, Information, Knowledge, it echoed our objective to support social scientists to engage in the opportunities vast social data sets offer and make connections between social scientists and those from other disciplines, such as computer science, who are already engaging in it We are exploring product innovation beyond our traditional publishing to support emerging research practice, those learning new skills to engage with big data, and researchers forming interdisciplinary partnerships.

- Dr. Nicholas Biddl is the Deputy Director of the ANU Center for Social Research and Methods, in the Research School of Social Sciences at the Australian National University He talks bout the different types of data which we can use for policy and evaluation. Segment 1:What do we mean by administrative data? Segment 2:What are the limitations of administrative data? Segment 3:What about data linkage? Segment 4:What are the limitations of data linkage? Segment 5:How can the ACLD (Adults and Children with Learning and Developmental Disabilities) be used to look at the indigenous population of Australia? http://methods.sagepub.com/video/data-types-for-policy-and-evaluation
- SRM supports research at all levels by providing material to guide users through every step of the research process. Nearly everyone at a university is involved in research, from students learning how to conduct research to faculty conducting research for publication to librarians delivering research skills training and doing research on the efficacy of library services. SAGE Research Methods is evolving by introducing 2 new components and additional support tools to further enhance the learning experience for the end user which includes SRMC-2 second set of cases which will include 500 new cases SRMV – includes 480 hours videos to covers and supports the research using media stream to demonstrate real life finding/cases in the work field, academics or specialists in their field talking about hot topics occurring in the world and findings. These videos are specific to pedagogical teaching and learning highlighting the new and ever changing face pace to deliver content in a visual and flipped classroom environment.
