Navigating the tensions of quality in qualitative research
探讨质性研究中实现质量需要驾驭结构与创造力、问责与专业性之间的张力,认为质量指南应作为工具包而非绝对标准,帮助学者、审稿人和编辑共同发展质性研究技艺。
In this essay that serves to introduce the So!apbox Forum on quality in qualitative research, we argue that achieving quality involves a process of navigating the tensions between structure and creativity, and between accountability and professionalism. Guidelines for achieving quality such as those offered in this forum or elsewhere should not therefore be seen as absolute standards, templates or checklists to be strictly followed, but rather as toolkits that can assist in navigating the tensions involved in participating in and developing the qualitative research craft as a community of scholars, reviewers and editors.
