Dearborn Srikanth,
Here's a useful book chapter: https://www.sagepub.com/sites/default/files/upm-binaries/43454_10.pdf
And here are some useful notes: http://www.open.edu/openlearncreate/pluginfile.php/73762/mod_resource/content/3/Qualitative%20research.pdf
The following publications should be helpful, namely: history of qualitative research/qualitative research as scientific theory building (see: Alasuutari, 2010, pp. 141-147); characteristics of Qualitative Content Analysis (see: White and Marsh, 2006, pp. 35-36), etc.
