SAGE Research Methods supports research at all levels by providing material to guide users through every step of the research process. It contains more than 1000 books, reference works, journal articles, and instructional videos by world-leading academics from across the social sciences. The database is made up of two components, SAGE Research Methods Cases and SAGE Research Methods Datasets.

SAGE Research Methods Cases provides more than 1100 peer-reviewed case studies that come with pedagogical tools including learning objectives and discussions questions. They can be used as a teaching tool to demonstrate a particular method and how it is applied in real research.

SAGE Research Methods Datasets contains instructional guides and teaching datasets that are pre-optimised and ideal for classroom exercises or in exam papers.
