Resisting the Robotic – Moving Fluidly Towards Soulful Qualitative Analysis International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Leinic Chung-Lee, Jennifer Lapum
Qualitative inquiry is known for the generation of knowledge that is expressive, subjective, rich, and comprehensive. While there are prospects for qualitative research to inform and improve praxis, thin engagement with qualitative analysis threatens the meaningfulness of the produced findings. Novice and emerging researchers may long for the aid of a technical guide outlining procedural steps as they

Research Protocol: A Transdisciplinary Multi-Case Study Research Design Using Mixed Methods to Evaluate the Long-Term Impact of Holocaust Museum Education in Australia International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-04-01 Helena Robinson, Avril Alba, Donna-Lee Frieze, Steven Cooke, Andrew Singleton
Holocaust museums around the world are distinctive in their emphasis on educational missions premised on the idea of “never again”, a deep belief that increasing public awareness of the history and contemporary significance of the Holocaust – the mass murder of six million European Jews by the Nazi regime during World War Two – can prevent the future recurrence of such events. In the Australian context

COVID-19 Induced Ethnographic Distance: Remote Fieldwork, Ethical Challenges and Knowledge Production in Conflict-Affected Environments International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-03-29 Richard Fosu
Post-conflict ethnographic research thrives on bodily immersion in a field site to interact and observe how conflict-affected people navigate and make sense of their world. Therefore, ethnography and distance or ethnographic distance is an oxymoron. Physical immersion in the field has the advantage of generating situated knowledge as the researcher comes to know his situation/location in the field

The Social Organization of Post-Secondary Music Students’ Work and Health: An Institutional Ethnography Protocol International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-03-18 Jeffrey Sabo, Mona Oikarinen, Suzanne Wijsman, David Peacock, Peter Visentin, Liliana S. Araújo, Kyle Zavitz, Christine Guptill
Researchers have found that many post-secondary music students suffer from physical and mental health issues. However, researchers have mainly studied these problems at the individual level, with little investigation of how music students’ work is shaped by the coordinating effects of policies, texts, and discourses at and beyond their local site. This paper describes a protocol for an international

Conducting Qualitative Research in Organizations Ethically: Organizationality as a Heuristic to Identify Ethical Challenges International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-03-05 Carla Scheytt, Jessica Pflüger
The consideration of research ethics to protect the research participants is a central element of empirical social research. Empirical research in organizations has certain characteristics: the research field is organized hierarchically and characterized by formal membership, specific control mechanisms, positive and negative sanctions, etc. Drawing on existing literature, we use the concept of “organizationality”

A Method for Synthesizing Qualitative Data Sources in the Co-Production of Postvention Guidelines for the NHS: A Worked Example International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-02-28 Hilary Causer, Johanna Spiers, Ruth Riley
In this paper, we introduce a novel method for the synthesis of qualitative data and co-production in the development of evidence-based guidelines. The call for evidence-based practice in healthcare settings has been dominated by a focus on patient groups, overlooking the need for robust guidelines to inform the delivery of support or developmental interventions for staff members. We propose an eight-step

Attention has recently been given to the role of race in many aspects of the research process; however, minimal has been written to critique the role of race in qualitative fieldnotes. This gap creates potential conflicts about representation that can exclude marginalized communities and call into question findings when race is ignored in the research process. To successfully address potential investigator

Remote and Equitable Inductive Analysis for Global Health Teams: Using Digital Tools to Foster Equity and Collaboration in Qualitative Global Health Research via the R-EIGHT Method International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-02-24 Jason Johnson-Peretz, Titus O. Arunga, Joi Lee, Cecilia Akatukwasa, Fredrick Atwine, Angeline Onyango, Lawrence Owino, Carol S. Camlin
Qualitative methods encompass a variety of research and analysis techniques which have the common aim of uncovering what cannot be captured numerically through the quantification of data. For qualitative analytical methods in the interpretivist tradition (e.g. grounded theory, phenomenological, thematic, etc), inductive coding has become a mainstay but has not always lent itself to collaborative, remote

Inclusion of Black and Latina Parents With Physical Disabilities in a Qualitative Research Study: A Peer Researcher Training Model International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-02-21 Jennifer Lee-Rambharose, Lauren D. Smith, Kim The, Willi Horner-Johnson, Linda Long-Bellil, Heather Watkins, Jennifer Senda, Nancy Garr-Colzie, Maria R. Palacios, Monika Mitra
Public health qualitative research has largely failed to achieve full inclusion of people with disabilities and Black people and Latinx/as. Although there is a small, but growing, community of academic researchers from each of these communities, there has been limited involvement of non-academic community members in research. While Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has informed the inclusion

But was it Trustworthy? Methodological Experiences From a Study of a Hard-to-Reach Group of Students in Need of a Flexible Research Approach International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-02-20 Johan Malmqvist, Andrea Atterström, Ann-Katrin Swärd
Pedagogical research on experiences of learning among students with severe speech and physical impairment (SSPI) is sparse. This may be due to a lack of research-on-research methodology literature about students with SSPI, as they are difficult to find and there are barriers to their participation in mainstream research. Hence, method development is especially important regarding these students, who

Demystification and Actualisation of Data Saturation in Qualitative Research Through Thematic Analysis International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-02-03 Muhammad Naeem, Wilson Ozuem, Kerry Howell, Silvia Ranfagni
The concept of saturation in qualitative research is a widely debated topic. Saturation refers to the point at which no new data or themes are emerging from the data set, which indicates that the data have been fully explored. It is considered an important concept as it helps to ensure that the findings are robust and that the data are being used to their full potential to achieve the research aim

Qualitative Thematic Analysis of Transcripts in Social Change Research: Reflections on Common Misconceptions and Recommendations for Reporting Results International Journal of Qualitative Methods (IF 4.828) Pub Date : 2024-01-27 Lauren Kogen
This paper, on qualitative thematic analysis (QTA) in social change research, falls somewhere between a reflective piece and a how-to guide. Using two examples from my own previous research, I discuss why QTA in the field of social change or social justice, which often analyzes the words of vulnerable, marginalized, or underserved populations, is so fraught, so contested, and so often dismissed. Qualitative
