Convincing Qualitative Research
回顾了顶级期刊中归纳性研究的写作实践,归纳出修辞、技艺、真实性、反思性和想象力五个类别,并提出可操作的写作启发法,帮助学者写出更有说服力的定性研究论文。
We review ontological, epistemological, and methodological concerns in writing up research, distilled from selected inductive studies published in leading academic journals. From this analysis of practices emerges the following categorization, (a) rhetoric, (b) craftsmanship, (c) authenticity, (d) reflexivity, and (e) imagination, which informs the writing up of appealing and convincing qualitative research. We give examples and propose actionable writing heuristics. We offer reflections and recommendations on how qualitative research writing could be improved and its diffusion accelerated.
