How can social scientists design and focus their research to ensure they can answer questions using existing data? How do researchers find relevant data for a specific project? In this webinar, three research fellows working on the Infra4NextGen project share their experience in navigating the wealth of publicly available survey data. The webinar covers strategies to design a social research question and focus on how to answer it. This considers both a bottoms up approach (what data is available in this field to study the concepts of interest?) and a top-down one (where and how can I find relevant data for a specific topic?)
