The Data Stories project is please to announce the publication of a new book – Critical Data Studies: An A to Z Guide to Concepts and Methods – authored by Rob Kitchin and published by Polity Books.

The book is available as an open access download, as well in paperback and hardback, from the publisher website.

The book provides a glossary for the field, consisting of 413 entries about key terms. Each entry sets out a definition, a descriptive overview, and further reading.

The text is designed to be a pedagogic resource that enables students and researchers to look up terms that might be used in the classroom or in publications but in a way shorn of a detailed explanation of their meaning, and to act as a guide for discovering ideas, concepts, and methods that might be of value in their studies and analysis.

This information sheet lists all the entries by topic, which provides an overview of the content and might be useful for those seeking related sets of concepts and methods.
