I am interested in gathering details about qualitative researching , in computing. I know it`s comparatively low, but I found very few. Concerned on areas like grounded theory, action research designing, which are techniques used in qualitative researching.
Appreciate your views.
Thanking in advance.

Dear Dr. Mary;
Thank you very much. It`s a very relevant list which I should read leisurely. Some of them I have read already.
Kind Regards
There is quite a bit of qualitative work in Information Technology, which is not exactly the same as computer Science, but it might be helpful.
Your question itself is very good RQ for a scoping review of qualitative research in computing. If your aim is to review the qualitative techniques within computing domain in a systematic way, start with a scoping review. A systematic review will provide a comprehensive list of research on your topic of interest, leaving very little room to miss something relevant in the field.
Scoping review, for example, provides "preliminary assessment of potential size and scope of available research literature. Aims to identify nature and extent of research evidence (usually including ongoing research)."
1. What is a scoping review, can be found in this article:

2. How scoping review can be carried out and why, can be viewed in this article:

3. And, this paper provides on a refinement in the scoping review process:

If your aim is something I stated above, we can also discuss possible teaming up for this task. We have some common interests here: qualitative methodology, computing/IT, systematic reviewing of literature.
Cheers.
Thanks indeed for all your answers, which are really appealing with the context of my issue.
