Aims & Scope

Qualitative Studies (QS) aims to be a central forum for discussions of qualitative research in social sciences in general. QS is an open access journal that employs a blinded peer-review process. We are interested in papers that discuss qualitative methods, their promises, problems, and philosophies, as well as papers that apply such methods in concrete qualitative studies. We are in particularly looking for papers that critically expand the borders of qualitative research by experimenting with literary, aesthetic, narrative and other creative genres in the communication of research. We also welcome theoretical and philosophical discussions of qualitative inquiry. The journal is affiliated with Aalborg University, Denmark. QS is a biannual themebased journal. There is thus a call for papers twice annually in March and in September. It is therefore not open to contributions that do not relate to the current theme. However, we are open to theme-proposals and guest editors.
