Trust, nuance, and care: Advantages and challenges of repeat qualitative interviews Qualitative Research (IF 3.096) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 David Rodriguez Goyes, Sveinung Sandberg
Most methodological discussions about the pros and cons of repeat interviews fall within qualitative longitudinal literature and are premised on project designs with relatively long intervals between encounters. Less attention has been paid to the practice and ethics of repeat interviewing as a stand-alone method, that does not follow participants long-term, but instead conducts several interviews

Positionality, relationality, place, and land: Considerations for ethical research with communities Qualitative Research (IF 3.096) Pub Date : 2024-04-12 Christopher C Jadallah
Attention to researcher positionality is an important component of qualitative research, particularly in research done with and for communities. However, discussions of researcher positionality are often limited in that they narrowly focus on positionality with respect to human research participants and whether the researcher is an insider or outsider. In this article, I build with the contributions

There are numerous ethical and procedural challenges when conducting cross-language research, and there is a need to discuss the role of multilingual researchers, as much of the existing literature focuses on working with third-party interpreters or translators. In this article, we expand the recommendations for cross-language research for multilingual researchers and health studies, through an examination

Custodians of an ecology of data: Foundational theory and practice for data analysis in a complex world Qualitative Research (IF 3.096) Pub Date : 2024-03-20 R Finn, A Brown
Currently, limited guidance is offered to qualitative researchers regarding ways to undertake data analysis that focus on the complex transactions of person and place. We propose that honouring mutuality of person and place requires analysis textured as ‘custodianship’ of the diverse expression of values in research data that constitutes an ‘ecology’. The process of analysis as custodians is the enacted

Using interview excerpts to facilitate focus group discussion Qualitative Research (IF 3.096) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Alina Geampana, Manuela Perrotta
The use of interviews and focus groups is well-established in the social science methods literature. However, discussion on how research can combine these two methods in creative ways is less common. While researchers are generally aware of the potential of focus groups for further probing issues that emerge in one-on-one interviews, few studies detail how this might be achieved in practice.

Qualitative analysis is, inherently, a complex, messy and nuanced process.
