SAGE Research Methods Online—Beta coming soon!

SAGE Research Methods Online (SRMO) will be the place to go for information about research methods. It’s an innovative research tool that can be used by students and researchers across the social sciences to search for a method and then find a range of literature from reference to book, journal and video material to support their query.

Over 120K pages of leading SAGE content is supported by a newly devised taxonomy with over 1400 terms to provide truly targeted search results. All content down to the chapter and encyclopedia entry has been tagged with terms from the taxonomy—an editorially driven task. This is a product that is designed to answer the questions that come up during research, a solutions-based tool to support the workflow of your patrons.

SAGE Reference Online usage reporting update

In the course of regular systems maintenance, two bugs were detected and corrected for SAGE Reference Online (SRO) COUNTER reports:

• Section reports were under-reporting SRO book activity from early June to late July
• Searches & sessions reports were timing out and not producing usage statistics

Both problems have been resolved and COUNTER reports for SRO are restored to customer accounts. If you requested any COUNTER reports for SRO during June or July, please re-run those reports to ensure accurate statistics were produced.

Access to your SRO usage reports are on your account administrator homepages.

Forward all queries on this matter to onlinesupportus@sagepub.com.
