Abstract
The paper examines the effects of dearth of research materials on the quality of research in the social sciences in Nigeria. Dearth of research materials in Nigeria's social sciences can have far-reaching implications for the quality of research conducted and the usefulness of research outputs. The paper also covers the importance of research materials in the social sciences, effects of dearth of research materials on the quality of research in the social sciences, quality research and quality of a good research. The findings show that the dearth of research materials can limit the scope of research, forcing researchers to focus on narrow topics or rely on outdated data. Therefore, it is crucial to prioritize the development of reliable data sources to improve the quality of research in the social sciences. Stakeholders in research must advocate for more financial support to build research infrastructures and create complete and updated databases to support research data. It is only with adequate fund back up that the social sciences can contribute meaningfully towards the investigation and resolution of social problems.
