Introduction to CAM

This is an update on CAM, the Cultural Anthropology Methods Journal. The editors of CAM are H. Russell Bernard, Stephen Borgatti, Pertti Pelto, and Oswald Werner. Beginning its eighth year, CAM publishes articles on the real "how to" of qualitative and quantitative research methods -- articles on how to:

manage field notes and other texts using specialized software
automate the coding of open-ended interviews
draw random samples under field conditions
do pile pile sorts by telephone
interpret the output of multidimensional scaling programs
choose ethnographic informants
build dictionaries and genealogies by computer in the field
run inexpensive stat programs for analysis in the field
use electronic mail
do on-line bibliographic searches
submit grant proposals
write an effective book prospectus

CAM also publishes reviews of software of interest to all field researchers in the social sciences. CAM is read in 12 countries.
