Collecting and Interpreting Qualitative Materials

Very useful book for qualitative data dissertation research. -- Dr Arminda Sequeira * drupal *
This is a useful supplementary text for my postgraduate students of allied health, who wish to explore more deeply into social research methods. It would not be suitable for all as many are more comfortable in a positivist paradigm but for social science students this book would be ideal. -- Dr Carol Taylor * drupal *

I found this book to be detailed, comprehensive and well written. It provides a clear and informative guide to a range of methods and strategies for data collection, collation and analysis for those new to research. The chapters are written by key academic writers in the given fields and I will be recommending this book to my MRes students. -- Dr Clare Woolhouse * drupal *
I am using as a reference for students but not a primary text
-- Dr Deborah O'Connor * drupal *
This text will prove useful for dissertation stage students who are capable of going beyond QDA. I have an interesting topic at present - product placement where the chapters by Prosser and Perakyla are of particular relevance. The text will also be recommended to my new intake of PhD students next month. Myself and a colleaguehave Denzin and Lincoln as our aspirational level for teaching and research. The text will take me a while longer to digest thoroughly -- Dr Jan Green * drupal *
Collecting and Interpreting qualitative materials is still a must read for all socials scientists and students! -- Dr John Schuster * drupal *
I really like this book. Good collection of issues related to methods of collecting and anlysing empirical materials. Good depth to the chapters as expected from books edited by Denzin & Lincoln. -- Dr Judy Sayers * drupal *

As always, an excellent book from this author. Well written, accessible, and undoubtedly will be useful for both student and more experienced researchers. -- Dr Pauline Sangster * drupal *
The book effectively introduces students to basic methods of gathering, analyzing and interpreting qualitative empirical data which is core to the module and to novice researchers during their fourth year of study. -- Dr Ruth Mampane * drupal *
The authors do not focus on how to conduct good analysis and how to share results effectively. Not enough HOW TO. It might be abetter text for doc students who take the course, but not great for our goals in the MSc program. -- Dr Ryan Flett * drupal *
Good informative material outlining the process from beginning to end of collecting and analysing qualitative data. Very useful for beginning and experienced researchers alike. -- Dr Valda Swinton * drupal *

This book gives a very thorough yet easily understood account of all the key concepts - a fantastic resource. -- Mrs Kathryn Peckham * drupal *
This classic text is recommended for students undertaking qualitative research studies at the dissertation stage of their Masters programme. It is also going ot be a recommended text for Developing Research and Evaluation Skills.

This book is particularly good for students who are undertaking qualitative research studies as part of their masters dissertation and should help to challenge and get the best out of students at this level. -- Mrs Linda Martindale * drupal *
This is part of an excellent series of texts relating to the collection and interpretation of qualitative materials. I have recommended this book (and the series) to my students as novice researchers who are grappling with the dynamic nature of qualitative research -- Mrs Lyz Howard * drupal *

Highly recommend to students as a set of 3 texts . This text supports the student and acdemics understanding of qualitative research -- Ms Allison Dunhill * drupal *
Can be used in isolation or as part of the set of 3 texts. Would recommend to undergraduate and post graduate students. -- Ms Amy Taylor * drupal *
This text is a detailed description of qualitative research. It would be very useful for anyone undertaking serious research. It is a little too detailed and the language tends at time to be rather dense and so I use it as supplemental reading for those students who want to develop their research interests beyond their undergraduate experience. -- Ms Deborah Dickinson * drupal *
a detailed and practical and text with the authority of Denzin and Lincoln as editors and contributors.. I′d suggest that it is more for masters level study rather than undergraduate -- Ms Fiona Cole * drupal *
A key research text -- Ms Rita Walsh * drupal *
This book is part of a series relating to qualitative research and focuses on the collection and interpretation of data. Part 1 covers methods of collecting and analysing with nine chapters of different approaches, for example, oral history, narrative inquiry and focus groups. Part 2 covers interpretation, evaluation and presentation with eight chapters with differing perspectives. It is enlightening and thorough but the writing is too dense for Undergrads. It is much more suited to Masters and Postgrads due to the complexity of ideas and perspectives presented. -- Ms Vanessa Abrahamson * drupal *
This classic text is a standard resources for all masters and doctoral students doing empirical research. I make a display copy available at all our doctoral seminars. -- Ms Zoe Bennett * drupal *
