Editor's Statement: The Online Readings in Research Methods (ORIM) is an open-source resource for all researchers, practitioners, educators, and students who have an interest in Social Science research methods, especially as they are adapted to Global South and/or African contexts. We would like to acknowledge and thank all of the authors who have shared their knowledge and work to make this resource possible. In particular we would like to thank the Psychological Society of South Africa (PsySSA) for supporting this publication. About Online Readings in Research Methods (ORIM): There is currently a rapid growth in research expertise in South Africa and developing world contexts. This website documents some of this expertise as it pertains to the Social Sciences. The work presented here is an open source resource that consists of peer reviewed chapters that critically examine the utility of a research method or analytic technique in a developing context. The project was started by a group of African-based academics who hold the strong belief that knowledge should be freely shared and that paywalls create unfair barriers to knowledge, particularly among those who played a role in its creation. Research methods textbooks, journal articles and monographs are typically costly with access restricted to those who can afford the subscription or authorship fees. We created this text with the aim of widening access to knowledge and disseminating rigorously peer reviewed works at no cost. Further, this exchange of knowledge has the potential to facilitate the development of novel techniques built on untapped systems of knowledge from developing contexts. Authors are not charged any submission, page or publication fees to publish a manuscript with ORIM .
