Welcome!

This is the website for BA 762: Research Methods, a Ph.D. course taught each Fall by Steve Borgatti at the University of Kentucky.

This course is about doing social science research. While we discuss epistemological issues, the focus is on practical matters: how to do it. Skills covered include theorizing, study design, measurement, exploratory data analysis and hypothesis testing. The format is largely discussion of published articles, along with some lecture.

For detailed information on the course, including timing and location, see the syllabus and the schedule.
