Qualitative Research Resource of the Week

Qualitative Sociology Review publishes empirical, theoretical and methodological articles applicable to all fields and specializations within sociology. Every submitted paper is blind reviewed and quality-controlled by two reviewers. The Editorial Staff and Consulting Editors strive to operate at a high level of scientific quality. Respecting a tradition in the social sciences of gaining an interpretive understanding (verstehen) of social phenomena, the leadership team of the journal is continuing to cultivate and develop the use of qualitative research as a tool of sociological inquiry. Cooperation, integration and the development of a scientific community are our core aims. The open-access journal values Individuality, Equality and Tolerance, Community, Science, and Humankind.
