This book shows researchers how to use APA Style Journal Article
Reporting Standards for Qualitative Research (JARS-Qual), Mixed Methods
Article Reporting Standards (MMARS), and Qualitative Meta-Analysis
Reporting Standards (QMARS).
These standards provide much-needed criteria to guide researchers as
well as journal editors, reviewers, and students. They also provide the
critical elements of a qualitative study, including design choices,
participant recruitment strategies, data analysis procedures, and the
significance of the results.
Heidi Levitt explains the purpose and function of these standards,
helping researchers strengthen the impact of their work. The book is
relevant for varied qualitative methods and includes examples from APA
journal articles to illustrate how writers can tailor their reporting
style to their methodologies and goals. Levitt also details other key
aspects of reporting qualitative research, such as how to establish a
study's methodological integrity.
