Qualitative methodologies invite researchers to collect the views and experiences, stories and expressions of people who have knowledge of the research problem. How can you use those stories in your writings? How should you deal with sensitive, controversial, or inflammatory messages in the data? Should you include direct quotes or is it preferable to paraphrase statements? What ethical and practical guidelines should you follow? These are some of the questions we will explore in the webinar. Join us to learn how to write a compelling paper based on your qualitative research.
Hosted by Sage's Janet Salmons and Sean Scarisbrick and featuring a panel discussion and Q&A session with prestigious guest speakers, Maria Lahman and Tyler Kincaid. The webinar will provide essential guidance for anyone hoping to get published in an academic journal.
