Providing beginning researchers with the tools that they need to differentiate between approaches to fieldwork, this book guides readers on how different types of qualitative research fit different purposes and produce varied research experiences and outcomes.
The Second Edition features the same clear, conversational, and friendly approach. In chapters full of practical advice, authors Lyn Richards and Janice M Morse take the reader through the steps of research design, software choice and use, data making, coding, abstracting and presenting a study.
