The use of single-case research designs is a hallmark of the field of behavior analysis. This article is a deep dive of the use and features of single-case research in the field starting with Sidman’s advocating book, Tactics of Scientific Research. The article discusses various forms of single-subject research, features, and areas of strength and weakness. The paper ends with suggestions for how to extend the use of this important method of behavior evaluation.
