Scope of the Conference

Research Methodology (RM) is a relatively new discipline in which methods are developed at the interface between substantive fields like medicine, psychology, education, sociology, health care or economics and, on the other hand, statistical data analysis.

Although RM focusses on the research problems that arise in practice, the aim is to find common elements and procedures that can be generally used in everyday research.
Findings in RM are highly relevant for methodologists, epidemiologists and applied statisticians and for all those working in methodological/statistical consultancy and education.
The RM 2003 workshop was centered around the same themes as came up at the KNAW colloquium held in January, 2000 in Amsterdam by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. (For the proceedings, see: KNAW 2000 proceedings).
