Sage Journal | Qualitative Research
"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 engage critically 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."

It is written for undergraduate and graduate students in social science; for practitioners in social work, healthcare, policy advice, and organizational consultancy; and for all who have a genuine interest in society and its members.

Qualitative research in psychology: Expanding perspectives in methodology and design., 2nd ed. by Camic, Paul M.
Publication Date: 2021
Database:APA PsycBooks - The present volume views qualitative designs and methods as both independent approaches to research that stand on their own and that act as companions to other qualitative and quantitative methods, while also being key components for intervention development and evaluation. The book is intended to help guide you around the bend but also take you back to a place where some form of integration among epistemological perspectives, different paradigms, types of research questions, data collection processes, analytic tools, and writing discussion sections might seem feasible—and possible.
