The new language of qualitative method
Abstract
In recent years, scholars and researchers have moved away from quantitative methods of research and toward qualitative methods, which emphasize questions of meaning and interpretation. Gubrium and Holstein offer a new theoretical view which reintegrates the traditional emphasis on the and what of social life with a contemporary understanding of the why. The authors demonstrate how their approach may be put into practice in research on family, aging, deviance and social problems, and organizations and institutions.

“As Gubrium and Holstein (1997, 1998, 2000) emphasize, because interpretive practice is twosided, there is an inescapable tension within it that needs to be accepted but cannot be completely resolved.”

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.
