Reader's Guide

The Reader's Guide is designed to help you find specific entries in general subject areas in the encyclopedia, as well as to identify related entries that may interest you. The main headings (e.g., “Data Analysis”) provide quick snapshots of the range of categories covered in this volume, while the individual entries listed under each heading show the range of topics within those categories. Some topics (e.g., “Music in Qualitative Research”) are listed only once in the guide; others (e.g., “Diaries and Journals”) fall into more than one category. You are encouraged to scan through this list to get a clear sense of the scope of the volume, as well as the labels used for specific topics. As all of the entries are listed in alphabetical order, you can move quite quickly between this listing and the entries themselves in the body of the encyclopedia.

The Reader's Guide classifies entries into 16 general topical categories: Approaches and Methodologies; Arts-Based Research, Ties to; Associations, Centers, and Institutes; Computer-Assisted Data Analysis; Data Analysis; Data Collection; Dissemination and Writing; History of Qualitative Research; Participants; Quantitative Research, Ties to; Research Design and Planning; Research Ethics; Rigor; Textual Analysis, Ties to; and Theoretical and Philosophical Frameworks.
