FQS 3(4) "SPECIAL ISSUE: FQS REVIEWS II" ONLINE
Dear All,
You can now access the full texts of our new FQS issue at
http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-eng.htm.
Although in the beginning we had decided to publish a maximum of three
issues per year, due to an overwhelming response of reviews we opted for
an additional issue: All in all, the "Special Issue: FQS Reviews II"
contains more than 50 review notes and review essays about "Methodology
and Methods," "Body / Culture / Identity," and "Online-Research / New
Media."
According to our editorial policies we feel the reviews should provide:
1. an adequate description of contents to give our readers an initial
overview and an idea of the purpose of the respective publication;
2. an evaluation, which includes the discussion whether this purpose had
been fulfilled or not, and
3. a contextualization, i.e., to introduce the respective research field
to which the book/media unit belongs.
We hope that this new issue satisfies our policies and that there are
some articles, interesting for you! In addition to the contributions
mentioned below belonging to FQS 3(4), this newsletter also contains
- information about a new text, belonging to FQS 4(1) (pre-published)
- requests from our readers
- information about conferences and workshops
Enjoy reading, and as always, any suggestions and feedback are warmly
welcome!
Katja Mruck
