Thematic Issue planned for January 2005 publication: "Secondary Analysis of Qualitative Data" Editors: Louise Corti, Libby Bishop & Andreas Witzel, Universities of Essex and Bremen Archived qualitative data are a rich and unique yet often unexploited source of research material that can be probed for methodological insights, reanalysed, reworked, and compared with contemporary data. This FQS thematic issue aims to debate the methodological, ethical and theoretical considerations relating to the secondary analysis of qualitative data. In the first instance, the editors would like to consider papers that either present case studies based on re-using qualitative data, or those that draw out the strengths and weaknesses of particular secondary analytic approaches. Deadline for paper submission: 15 October 2004 Publication guidelines: http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/manuskript-e.htm Contact: corti@essex.ac.uk; ebishop@essex.ac.uk; AWitzel@gsss.uni-bremen.de -- FQS - Forum Qualitative Sozialforschung / Forum: Qualitative Social Research (ISSN 1438-5627) English -> http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-eng.htm German -> http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs.htm Spanish -> http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-s.htm Please sign the Budapest Open Access Initiative: http://www.soros.org/openaccess/ Directory of Open Access Journals: http://www.doaj.org/ Open Access News: http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/fosblog.html
