Guide to Qualitative Research Journals, curated by Ronald J. Chenail

The Qualitative Report "Guide to Qualitative Research Journals"

According to Dr. Ronald J. Chenail, Editor-in-Chief of the journal, The Qualitative Report, you can use this list to "explore the world of professional, scholarly, and academic journals publishing qualitative research. The number and variety of journals focusing primarily on qualitative approaches to research have steadily grown over the last forty years. From discipline- or profession-specific to trans-, cross-, and multidisciplinary missions, these journals represent a richly diverse approach to qualitative inquiry."
