A National Human Dimensions Framework and Database for Conducting Social Assessments
Hosted by the USDA Forest Service, this Web site provides on-line access to human dimensions information useful in conducting social assessments. The human dimensions site is a question-based tool that connects social assessment questions, social information, and methods of collecting data about the social information.

Fisheries Economics Data Center - Social Science Resources
This social research bibliography was pulled together by Oregon State University Sea Grant and includes research on subjects related to fisheries as well as articles on methods and theory.

Research Resources for the Social Sciences
By Craig McKie in association with McGraw-Hill Ryerson, this Web site provides links to resources in eighteen categories of social science. An accompanying book, Using the Web for Social Research, has been published by the same author.

Social Science in Minerals Management Service
This site provides resources from the Minerals Management Service (MMS) environmental program related to social science.

Social Science Research Strategy for Marine Protected Areas
From the National Marine Protected Areas Center, this strategy provides information on social science and how it applies to marine protected areas. Much of the structure of this Web site is derived from this strategy document.

Web Center for Social Research Methods
Developed for those involved in applied social research and evaluation, this Web site provides resources and links to locations on the Web that deal in applied social research methods. Also included are an on-line hypertext textbook, an on-line statistical advisor, and a book of manual (i.e., dice-rolling) and computer simulation exercises of common research designs for students and researchers to learn how to do simple simulations.

Social Science Journals

Human Dimensions of Wildlife
Human Dimensions of Wildlife is a quarterly, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of social considerations in fisheries and wildlife management.

Human Ecology Review
Human Ecology Review is published twice a year by the Society for Human Ecology. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research and theory on the interaction between humans and the environment and other links between culture and nature.

Human Organization
This is a journal of the Society for Applied Anthropology, which promotes interdisciplinary scientific investigation of the principles controlling the relations of human beings to one another, and encourages the wide application of these principles to practical problems.

Journal of Leisure Research
The Journal of Leisure Research is devoted to original investigations that contribute new knowledge and understanding to the field of leisure studies.

Leisure Sciences
Leisure Sciences is an interdisciplinary journal that presents scientific inquiries into the study of leisure, recreation, parks, travel, and tourism from a social science perspective. Information on methodologies, notes, and both philosophical and policy treatises are also included.

Society and Natural Resources
Bringing together social science research on present and emerging environmental and natural resource issues, Society and Natural Resources provides a forum for scientific, refereed research that underlies management decisions on natural resource development from multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary social science.
