Résumé :

Qualitative research cultivates exploratory ways of thinking that can serve as a vehicle to disseminate findings for researchers, scientists, and principal investigators. However, publishing requires an understanding of theoretical foundations. Researchers may know to use interviews as a method but failing to explicate theory risks reviewer rejection. Multitasking scholars need a succinct nuts and bolts approach. This book synthesizes major qualitative scholarship and translates it to scientists and researchers to achieve pathways to publication.
While succinct, this book is not rudimentary. There is a minimum amount researchers need to know to get qualitative research published-to read, write, and cite. This book supports scientists' goal-oriented approach to translate scientific research into tangible benefits, improve quality of life, enhance efficiency, and solve practical problems faced by individuals and communities.
