# DS Methods Overview

DS methods enable scholars and students to conduct research and present scholarship in a variety of modes, including spatial, temporal, textual, hypertextual, immersive, graphical, and exhibitive. DS tools, e.g., ArcGIS, and skills, e.g., coding, are the means by which methods are enacted.  

Here you will find an overview of different methods from a conceptual standpoint. To learn more about enacting methods and using tools, visit [BCDS Learn](https://bcds.gitbook.io/learn/).
