A comprehensive guide to carrying out Qualitative Secondary Analysis (QSA) that brings together expert advice and professional insight from leading researchers who have developed innovative theories and methods of QSA.
Exploring crucial components of research and analysis—such as where to find resources, how to search within a resource, and working with both paper archives and non-textual data—each chapter offers insightful case studies, links to further reading and applied helpful hints and tips to help effectively apply these innovations to further the reader’s own research.
A must read for Social Science students, early career researchers and researchers new to the field of QSA, this text will help readers through every aspect of a research process using QSA, from application to implications.
Chapters from this book (2,4,6) will make the core reading for PGT unit ( An introduction to social science research). The reasons are:
1. Relevance to the content I wish to cover in the sessions
2. Being a recent resource
3. Being able to offer students further information by referring them to only one resource (rather than chapters from different books or different articles)
very useable guide to carrying out analysis on a wide variety of data sets, practical advice given, and enough depth on rationales and theories underlying the methods.
Put on the reading list for students
An engaging text with some very interesting material.
