Leiden Law School has a methods portal that offers an overview of the various phases of empirical legal research.

The project falls in the context of the EU Thematic Strategy on the Sustainable Use of Natural Resources (COM(2005)670). The Institute for Environment and Resources (IES) of the Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed three sets of decoupling indicators. Such indicators require the definition of a…

Because we cannot directly ask babies about what they know or what they are thinking about, we must find smart and baby-friendly ways to figure it out! Below you can read about the different methods that we typically use in our studies.

Analysis of neuroimaging data requires multiple steps where statistics play a crucial role. The MRI methods research group develops new statistical methods that are accurate, transparent and easy to use.

Cathodic corrosion for producing nanoparticles was (re)discovered when trying to control the electrochemical etching of a scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tip.

The programme group Research Methods and Statistics offers methodological support in many projects in the field of education and child studies.

The programme group Research Methods and Statistics offers support to researchers from a variety of research projects within Education and Child Studies.

Illustrations of the challenges and rewards of doing and representing interdisciplinary research through the methodological developments of 50 experienced researchers.

We study the interplay of topology and geometry with chirality for several passive and active systems, employing both analytical and numerical methods.

The research in this thesis is focused on tomographic reconstruction based on two imaging modalities in electron microscopy.

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

Mining time series is a machine learning subfield that focuses on a particular data structure, where variables are measured over (short or long) periods of time.

The blended flipped classroom is a partially online, partially offline course to teach social science research methods. Online, students watch video lectures, do readings, and complete short exercises to acquire basic knowledge of research methodologies and academic skills.
