Specific methodologies that address the mobile character of the phenomenon: ethnography, observation, network analysis, experience sampling, and other emerging methods

We are delighted to be able to support leading researchers in these emerging disciplines and are thrilled to have such a strong team working on this new title" said Karen Phillips, Editorial Director, SAGE.

We are keen to build on the distinctive quality of our research, and SAGE's innovative market presence and development with their e-book platforms and mobile optimized sites, ensures that our journal is not only disseminated to our key global readers, but that the information can be accessed in a mobile way that is true to the ethos and vision of our research."
