Qualitative Research Design: Selected Articles from Research Design Review

Research Design Review is an online blog that began in November 2009 with the intention of providing suppliers, end-users, and students of qualitative and/or quantitative research with a resource for thinking about and discussing research design issues. RDR addresses the basic question, “Is it good research?” - meaning, does the research design (regardless of method) adhere to common
standards or principles that are generally agreed to support some degree of confidence in our research findings. RDR currently includes over 40 posts concerning quantitative and qualitative research design
issues. This paper presents a selection of articles from RDR specific to qualitative research design. It is hoped that greater awareness and understanding of the factors impacting qualitative research design
will lead to more useful, higher-quality outcomes.
