Abstract

Qualitative research involves the use of qualitative data, such as interviews, documents, and participant observation, to understand and explain social phenomena. As the focus of information systems research shifts from technological to managerial and organizational issues, qualitative research methods become increasingly useful. This example of “living scholarship” within MISQ Discovery’s worldwide web archive provides an overview of qualitative research for the newcomer and a set of resources for those more experienced. The work discusses philosophical perspectives that can inform qualitative research, qualitative research methods, techniques, and modes of analysis. Links to citation lists, Internet resources, software tools, and calls for papers are also included.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
