SRMO helps researchers obtain reliable information about research methods, including the theory behind various methods and examples of how they have been applied in research settings. Built on a taxonomy of 1,400 terms that link to more than 120,000 pages of SAGE content, SRMO includes information from dictionary and encyclopedia entries, journal articles, books, and videos. SRMO also helps users visualize the relationships between taxonomy terms through its unique Methods Map, and allows users to create and share information about research methods using a Methods List feature.By providing one-stop shopping for information about research methods to users in the social and health sciences, SRMO makes its case as a highly valuable resource for beginning researchers. While ultimately the value of SRMO to an individual library may depend on how much of the SAGE content is already accessible to users through other means, social media and visual enhancements make the resource a dynamic and unique new entry for social and health sciences research.", }
