Intended for healthcare professionals

Field Methods, peer-reviewed and published quarterly, focuses on empirical tests of new methods for collecting, analyzing, and presenting data on human thought and human behavior and on new uses for existing methods. The data can be qualitative or quantitative, as can the methods for analysis and presentation, but articles for FM should advance a method rather than simply report on the application of a method.
