Qualitative Research


eISSN: 17413109 | ISSN: 14687941 | Current volume: 24 | Current issue: 4 Frequency: Bi-monthly
Qualitative Research was established in 2001 by Sara Delamont and Paul Atkinson. The journal was founded to offer a critical and reflective gaze on methodological approaches, understandings and engagements, and worked to counter tendencies that imagined qualitative research could become a taken for granted set of precepts and procedures. Qualitative Research encourages authors to take a critical engagement with the orthodox and the heterodox, the familiar and the innovative, the modern and the postmodern, and the experimental and the traditional. The journal continues to be guided by the principles of the founding editors, and invites creative, critical engagements with methods, methodology and qualitative practice.

Qualitative Research is available electronically on SAGE Journals Online at http://qrj.sagepub.com 

This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Qualitative Research publishes papers with a clear methodological focus. We invite scholarship that has multi-disciplinary appeal, that debates and enlivens qualitative methods, and that pushes at the boundaries of established ways of doing qualitative research. We are interested in papers that are attentive to a wide audience, that are alive to new and diverse ways of thinking about qualitative methods, and that contribute to discussions within the pages of this journal. These discussions can be brought to life through empirical studies and research encounters, but we do not accept papers that focus on reporting the findings from qualitative research studies.

We see our journal as contributing to the community of academics across different fields who use qualitative methods as a way of making sense of the world. We understand methods and methodology as a practice and as a perspective, and welcome contributions that reflect on and critically engage with both aspects. Qualitative Research is a space where ideas and understandings are used to open up methodological issues for reflection and debate, and we work hard to provide a supportive environment to foster this ethos.
