Doing good qualitative research [electronic resource] / edited by Jennifer Cyr, Sara Wallace Goodman.

"This is a book about doing good qualitative research in the social sciences. In weaving together contributions by over forty experts, it presents a comprehensive approach to qualitative research by providing practical advice on carrying out a qualitative research project from start (i.e., finding the research question) to finish (i.e., finding a publishing venue). The chapters are short, accessibly written, and simultaneously engage with theoretical considerations and best practices. As such, each presents comprehensive and implementable information about qualitative methods based on first-person accounts of experiences in the research process. The chapters also include advice about the expected and unexpected challenges associated with doing qualitative work. The central goal of the text is to make qualitative research more "knowable" and accessible for any person-consumer, producer, researcher, reviewer, teacher, and student alike"-- Provided by publisher.
