Reihe: Europe in Comparison
A Series of Guidebooks for the Social Sciences
Edited by Heinrich Best and Peter Flora on behalf of:
InformationsZentrum Sozialwissenschaften, Bonn and
Mannheimer Zentrum für Europäische Sozialforschung
|
The series is an attempt to support comparative social science research on
Europe by providing a broad range of meta-information required in comparing
societies and polities across Europe. The variety of national differences,
cultural as well as institutional, represent a considerable barrier to be
overcome in trans-national comparative research. Social scientists here face far
greater difficulties than in their national contexts while at the same time
their institutional support is weaker.
The series is intended to contribute to comparative research by offering
systematic meta-information in four fields:
- Quantitative data and source information provided by institutions in the
European countries - aspects such as the definition and operationalisation
of concepts, the collection and processing of data, their storage and access
will be covered:
- The national institutions engaged in empirical research in the social
sciences, with an explicit or implicit comparative perspective - the
information will cover aspects such as their organisation and research
orientation, their activities and publications:
- Bibliographical documentation and research information referring to the
methodology, infrastructure and results of social science research in Europe
- special emphasis will be laid on meta-information systems available at
national and supranational levels:
- Bibliometric and scientometric analysis of social science research
cultures in European countries with particular reference to cultural
implications for social science theory and research techniques.
The following volumes have been published till now:
