What is the point of method sections?
基于对批判和解释主义研究者的访谈，探讨管理学和组织研究中方法部分的本质与目的，揭示研究者如何应对实证主义对方法部分形式和内容的期待，并呼吁对方法部分的形式更加开放。
There are plenty of books and articles on research methods, but few discuss the nature and purpose of method sections in academic journals. Based on interviews with critical and interpretivist researchers, this short paper examines the nature and purpose of method sections in management and organization studies. We show how researchers make sense of, and struggle with, positivist expectations about the form and content of method sections. Ultimately, we call for greater openness about what method sections might look like and ask whether all academic articles need method sections.
