Qualitative Research Resource of the Week

Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research (JEQR): is a peer-reviewed periodical, publishing scholarly articles that address topics relating directly to empirical qualitative research and conceptual articles addressing topics related to qualitative inquiry. The managing editor is responsible for manuscript selection via a selective and blind peer-review process. JEQR employs an interesting submission and manuscript review process in that the journal is associated with the Annual Ethnographic & Qualitative Research Conference so presenters are encouraged to submit their papers to the journal for publication consideration and the journal reviewers use a scoring rubric which the editors make available online so authors can self-evaluate their papers before submitting them.
