An intellectual property discussion is central to qualitative
research projects, and ethical guidelines are essential to the safe
accomplishment of research projects. Undertaking research studies
without adhering to ethics may be dangerous to researchers and
research subjects. Therefore, it is important to understand and
develop practical techniques for handling ethics with a specific
focus on qualitative projects so that researchers conducting this
type of research may continue to use ethical practices at every
step of the project. Data Analysis and Methods of Qualitative
Research: Emerging Research and Opportunities discusses in detail
the methods related to the social constructionist paradigm that is
popular with qualitative research projects. These methods help
researchers undertake ideal qualitative projects that are free from
quantitative research techniques/concepts all while acquiring
practical skills in handling ethics and ethical issues in
qualitative projects. The chapters each contain case studies,
learning outcomes, question and answer sections, and discuss
critical research philosophies in detail along with topics such as
ethics, research design, data gathering and sampling methods,
research outputs, data analysis, and report writing. Featuring a
wide range of topics such as epistemology, probability sampling,
and big data, this book is ideal for researchers, practitioners,
computer scientists, academicians, analysts, coders, and students
looking to become competent qualitative research specialists.
The book is user-friendly and extremely handy as a reference tool.
In addition, it makes for enjoyable and highly informative reading.
