The second edition of Qualitative Research is a one-stop resource for all those approaching qualitative research for the first time, as well as those revisiting core concepts and issues. It presents a comprehensive overview of this rapidly developing field of inquiry, cleverly combined with practical, hands-on advice on how to conduct a successful qualitative study.
Written in an engaging and accessible style, this new edition includes updates such as further readings and case studies to help researchers to recognize developments in the field. Further updates include how to use social media in ethical and responsible ways, working with participants at a distance and the pros and cons of analyzing data online. The authors break through difficult terminology to guide readers through the choices they will face during research design, implementation, and publication. Each chapter is brought to life by relevant, real-life examples from expert researchers around the globe. Divided into seven sections, this unique text covers:
