Papers published in SM are original methodological contributions, including new methodological developments, reviews or illustrations of recent developments that provide new methodological insights, and critical evaluative discussions of research practices and traditions. The journal provides a forum for engaging the philosophical issues that underpin sociological research.
#SOCIAL SEQUENCE ANALYSIS FULL#
SM seeks qualitative and quantitative contributions that address the full range of methodological problems confronted by empirical research in the social sciences, including conceptualization, data analysis, data collection, measurement, modeling, and research design. Contributions come from diverse areas and have something new and useful-and sometimes surprising-to say about a wide range of methodological topics. It is a compendium of new and sometimes controversial advances in social science methodology. Sociological Methodology (SM) is the only American Sociological Association periodical publication devoted entirely to research methods. It is more robust to noise in the data, and it provides more reliable alignments than two independent OMA. Moreover, MCSA reduces the complexity of the typologies it allows to produce, without making them less informative. We also consider a random data set and find that MCSA offers an alternative to the sole use of ex-post sum of distance matrices by locally aligning distinct life trajectories simultaneously. Using data from the Swiss household panel (SHP), we examine the types of trajectories obtained using MCSA. Based on methods pioneered in the field of bioinformatics, this paper proposes a method of multichannel sequence analysis (MCSA) that simultaneously extends the usual optimal matching analysis (OMA) to multiple life spheres. Despite the broadly recognized interdependence of these statuses, few attempts have been made to systematize the ways in which optimal matching analysis should be applied multidimensionally-that is, in an approach that takes into account multiple trajectories simultaneously. Applications of optimal matching analysis in the social sciences are typically based on sequences of specific social statuses that model the residential, family, or occupational trajectories of individuals.
