Overview
The Research Methods and Social Statistics Program (ReMASS) aims to develop and evaluate methods for the analysis of quantitative and qualitative social science data.
The Program places emphasis on the application and development of advanced statistical procedures for collecting and analysing social survey data, particularly multi-level, longitudinal and spatially-relevant research techniques.
The programs also provides services such as
- statistical advice;
- survey design and data collection;
- statistical analysis;
- scientific qualitative analysis;
- research training and professional development;
- access to social science secondary research data in the Australian Data Archive (ADA).
The UQ node of ADA is located in this Program along with the Australian Qualitative Archive (AQUA), which is advancing the preservation and confidential reuse of qualitative research data through new methods and technologies.
