Hello,

This relates to the 2013 edition:

Ritchie, J., Lewis, J., Nicholls, C. M., & Ormston, R. (Eds.). (2013). Qualitative research practice: A guide for social science students and researchers. sage.

http://jbposgrado.org/icuali/Qualitative%20Research%20practice.pdf

See ResearchGate link:

Article Qualitative Research Practice. A Guide for Social Science St...

The link below is a much earlier version; the one that I used when I was doing my PhD:

http://www.sxf.uevora.pt/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Ritchie_2003.pdf

However, I feel that a more recent edition would be appropriate for your description of need.

It will be interesting to see what others advise.

Very best wishes,

Mary

I recommend this great book:

Educational Research: Planning, Conducting, and Evaluating Quantitative and Qualitative Research

https://www.amazon.com/Educational-Research-Conducting-Quantitative-Qualitative/dp/0131367390

The following book is recommended:

Flick, U., von Kardorff, E. and Steinke (2004) A Companion to Qualitative Research. London: SAGE Publications Ltd.

I know that this book is batter than others.

Flick, U., von Kardorff, E. and Steinke (2004) A Companion to Qualitative Research.London: SAGE Publications Ltd.

Hi. I had referred to these texts and found them to be quite useful to my work. Hope this helps.

Berg, B. L., Lune, H., & Lune, H. (2004). Qualitative research methods for the social sciences (Vol. 5). Boston, MA: Pearson.

Smith, J. A. (Ed.). (2015). Qualitative psychology: A practical guide to research methods. Sage.

Breakwell, M. Glyniss., Smith, A. Jonathan, Wright, B. Daniel(Eds)(4th Edition). Research Methods in Psychology. Sage.

Warm regards.

After I saw Flick, U., von Kardorff, E. and Steinke (2004) A Companion to Qualitative Research.London: SAGE Publications Ltd. mentioned twice (Kenneth Lui-ming Ngie, Mohammad Jalaluddin Abbas), as I was not familiar with it, I decided to look it up. The pdf of the volume is available online. Search for:

[PDF] A Companion to QUALITATIVE RESEARCH - ResearchGate

and it is the first thing that comes up.

But as the actual pdf comes without a web address, I was not able to give one.

I also found this link for the volume suggested by Sravanti Ghosh:

Berg, B. L., Lune, H., & Lune, H. (2004). Qualitative research methods for the social sciences (Vol. 5). Boston, MA: Pearson.

Article Qualitative Research Methods for the Social Sciences 5

I have met the JW Cresswell book before, as suggested by Ayman Amin and would also recommend it.

yes

May I recommend one more text book that is written by the same author, namely:

Flick, U. (2010) An Introduction to Qualitative Research. Fourth edition. London: SAGE Publications Ltd.

I would recommend Patricia Leavy’s (2018) newest book, Research Methods (https://www.amazon.com/Research-Design-Qualitative-Quantitative-Approaches-ebook/dp/B00DYWBXXE)

It is written in an exceptionally accessible manner, provIdes examples and practice applicable for any stage, she is a sociologist by training, and if using one of her books for your course, she is often willing to Skype in to give a short talk or answer questions. Hope this helps! Will be interested to see what you decide.

Hello, Prof A. S. CohenMiller

Re your above response. I looked for Patricia Leavy and found that she was a ResearchGate member (I'm fairly sure that I have the correct id).

But when I tried your link, I got the Cresswell research book. He referenced Leavy but it does not seem to be an edited book.

I'd be really interested to look at Leavy's work. Do you have another link. It isn't on her RG page. It is lovely that she is sometimes willing to speak to students who are using her material for their courses.

Is it the third book down on this link?:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Patricia%20Leavy/e/B001ITXNCO/ref=la_B001ITXNCO_st?rh=n%3A266239%2Cp_82%3AB001ITXNCO&qid=1541585180&sort=date-desc-rank

I was looking for 2018 publications.

Very best wishes,

Mary

Mary, yes you have the correct person!

Prof A. S. CohenMiller,

Thanks for that. I had never heard of the author and was well impressed. I could not access her latest book by the link in your response; do you have another link for it?

Thanks again,

Mary
