The Innovation in the Teaching of Research Methods Excellence Awards is an established annual event.We continue to be encouraged by the interest which has been shown in these Excellence Awards, as we believe that the case histories recorded here are a valuable asset to those who are trying to improve their teaching of research methodology in the social sciences.Initially 7 submissions were received, and 4 contenders were invited to submit a full case history describing their initiative. These case histories were double-blind peer reviewed, and this publication contains the entries of the shortlisted contestants. We are once again pleased to see the global reach these Awards have with contributions this year from Portugal, the United States and the United Kingdom.We feel that these case histories provide helpful insights into the types of issues academics are coping with when teaching research methodology today in various parts of the world.
