Aims: Field Methods publishes articles about methods used by field investigators from the social and behavioral sciences in the collection, management, analysis and presentation of data about human thought and/or human behavior in the natural world. The data can be qualitative or quantitative, as can the methods for analysis and presentation.
Scope: Field Methods publishes articles in three formats: research articles, short takes, and review articles.
Research articles: Research articles should focus on empirical tests of new methods and on new uses for existing methods (rather than the substantive findings of research). Articles for Field Methods should advance a method rather than simply report on the application of a method. Research articles should not exceed 6,000 words, including all materials.
Short Takes: Short Takes are brief articles on the application of methods that provide step-by-step instructions that are meant to fill in the gaps in the literature on the real how-to of existing methods. Short takes are 1500 words max, excluding abstract and references.
Methods Reviews: Method Review articles review front-edge work on existing methods. Method Reviews are solicited by invitation only.
