And so in this video O'Leary, a senior fellow at the Australia and New Zealand School of Government and author of several SAGE Publishing texts including The Essential Guide to Doing Your Research Project, offers 10 tips for systematically addressing this fundamental if sometimes unsexy part of the research process.The video –which you can watch for free by clicking here — is part of SAGE Research Methods Video. It’s an extensive collection, with hundreds of titles and almost 200 hours of total video.This month SAGE has launched a new collection of videos, Practical Research and Academic Skills. Building upon SAGE’s extensive history of methods publishing across the wide range of the social and behavioral sciences, the videos teach the foundational skills needed to conduct research at any level and to succeed in academic life.The new collection includes 440 videos and 62 hours of content and was designed to give students and researchers the basic instruction and the confidence needed to successfully complete research projects and the skills to accelerate their professional development.
