Abstract
In this workshop, I put a specific focus on how to write up qualitative work for journal submission. Writing-related issues are among the most pervasive issues reviewers identify in qualitative papers. In fact, many more substantive issues, such as the perceived lack of a theoretical contribution or issues with the execution of the research, are often rooted in shortcomings in the writing-up of the research. Frequently, reviewers bemoan that the authors simply did not provide enough information or not the right kind of information to assess whether a qualitative research project was conducted appropriately or whether the reported findings are well grounded in the data. In this workshop, I provide guidelines for writing up qualitative research to help authors compose papers that are written clearly, engage, tell an interesting story, pose challenging and meaningful questions, communicate transparent, appropriate, and rigorous methods, and present impactful, consequential, and thought-provoking findings.
