Doing Excellent Social Research with Documents includes guidance on how to 'read between the lines', and provides an overview of six research projects which use documents as data.The substantive chapters are organised in two sections, with each chapter focused on a specific type of data. Section one focuses on documents that are found in isolation from their authors, including official and historical documents, traditional media, diaries and online content.

In each chapter, you will be guided through the process of:Developing research questions, and how this impacts on the documents selected;Considering aspects of bias and quality within the documentary sources;Undertaking analysis, using six different strategies including thematic analysis, framework analysis, content analysis, discourse analysis and narrative analysis.Drawing on research projects which reflect real world situations, you will be methodically guided through the research process in detail, enabling you to examine and understand the practices and value of a range of documentary analysis approaches.
