About the journal
Qualitative Research is a fully peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on the methodological diversity and multi-disciplinary focus of qualitative research within the social sciences.
Research based on qualitative methods, and methodological commentary on such research, have expanded exponentially in the past decades. This is the case across a number of disciplines including sociology, social anthropology, health and nursing, education, cultural studies, human geography, social and discursive psychology, and discourse studies. As the degree of internet in qualitative research is global, the scope of the journal is truly international as well as interdisciplinary, capitalizing on the current popularity of qualitative research methods across all of the social and cultural disciplines.
The distinctive mission of Qualitative Research is to promote and debate qualitative methods in a broad intellectual framework.
There are six issues a year divided into:
- Articles
- Short communication and research notes
- Reports on new technologies and other innovations
- Review essays and book reviews

Instructions to Authors
1. Peer review policy
Qualitative Research operates a strictly anonymous peer review process in which the reviewer's name is withheld from the author and the author's name from the reviewer. The reviewer may at their own discretion opt to reveal their name to the author in their review but our standard policy practice is for both identities to remain concealed. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two referees. All manuscripts are reviewed as rapidly as possible, and an editorial decision is generally reached within 12 weeks of submission.
2. Article types
Qualitative Research publishes original research and review articles. The Journal considers the following kinds of article for publication:
1. Articles;
2. Research notes;
3. Review essays, symposia and book reviews.
Note that articles and research notes should be methodological in content. Qualitative Research does not publish papers that are primarily reports of empirical research.
Full papers are generally restricted to a strict maximum length of 8000 words, including all elements (title page, abstract, notes, references, tables, biographical statement, etc.). We are reluctant to burden our referees with very long manuscripts. Authors who suspect that their articles will have to be cut anyway should make the required deletions before submitting.Authors should provide a word count as part of their submission.
Authors of potential Research Notes should look at two recently published Research Notes (eg Amanda Holt in 10.1 (2010), and Glenn A Bowen in 8.1 (2008)) for guidance. Research Notes submissions should be no longer than 2,500 words.
3. How to submit your manuscript
Before submitting your manuscript, please ensure you carefully read and adhere to all the guidelines and instructions to authors provided below. Manuscripts not conforming to these guidelines may be returned.All articles are restricted to a strict maximum length of 8,000 words.
Qualitative Research is hosted on SAGE Track, a web based online submission and peer review system powered by ScholarOne™ Manuscripts. Please read the Manuscript Submission guidelines below, and then simply visit http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/qrj to login and submit your article online. When submitting your manuscript, please supply the full contact details of three possible referees in countries other than your own.
IMPORTANT: Please check whether you already have an account in the system before trying to create a new one. If you have reviewed or authored for the journal in the past year it is likely that you will have had an account created. For further guidance on submitting your manuscript online please visit ScholarOne Online Help.
All papers (other than book reviews) must be submitted via the online system. The editors cannot enter into discussions about possible submissions prior to actual submission, on the basis of an outline or an abstract. If you are unsure about the suitability of Qualitative Research for your paper, or vice versa, then please look carefully at the contents of the journal, especially those in volume 5 issue 1 (2005) and volume 9 issue 1 (2009), and read between 8 and 10 papers published in the journal. Please pay close attention to the journal's mission statement.

4. Journal contributor’s publishing agreement
Before publication SAGE requires the author as the rights holder to sign a Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement. SAGE’s Journal Contributor’s Publishing Agreement is an exclusive licence agreement which means that the author retains copyright in the work but grants SAGE the sole and exclusive right and licence to publish for the full legal term of copyright. Exceptions may exist where an assignment of copyright is required or preferred by a proprietor other than SAGE. In this case copyright in the work will be assigned from the author to the society. For more information please visit our Frequently Asked Questions on the SAGE Journal Author Gateway.
Qualitative Research and SAGE take issues of copyright infringement, plagiarism or other breaches of best practice in publication very seriously. We seek to protect the rights of our authors and we always investigate claims of plagiarism or misuse of articles published in the Journal. Equally, we seek to protect the reputation of the Journal against malpractice. Submitted articles may be checked with duplication-checking software. Where an article is found to have plagiarised other work or included third-party copyright material without permission or with insufficient acknowledgement, or where the authorship of the article is contested, we reserve the right to take action including, but not limited to: publishing an erratum or corrigendum (correction); retracting the article (removing it from the journal); taking up the matter with the head of department or dean of the author's institution and/or relevant academic bodies or societies; banning the author from publication in the journal or all SAGE journals, or appropriate legal action.
4.1 SAGE Choice and Open Access
If you or your funder wish your article to be freely available online to non subscribers immediately upon publication (gold open access), you can opt for it to be included in SAGE Choice, subject to payment of a publication fee. The manuscript submission and peer review procedure is unchanged. On acceptance of your article, you will be asked to let SAGE know directly if you are choosing SAGE Choice. To check journal eligibility and the publication fee, please visit SAGE Choice. For more information on open access options and compliance at SAGE, including self author archiving deposits (green open access) visit SAGE Publishing Policies on our Journal Author Gateway.

- Include a title page with full title and subtitle (if any). For the purposes of blind refereeing, full name of each author with current affiliation and full address/phone/fax/email details plus short biographical note should be supplied on a separate sheet, along with the full contact details of three possible referees in countries other than the authors'. The editors will not inspect the manuscript until this information is given.
- Also for the purposes of blind refereeing, authors should replace all self-citations in the text and reference list with anonymous citations, in the style (Author, 2009), etc.
- Any citation that includes any of the authors should be replaced with (Author A and others, 2003) in the text, and in the reference list at 'Au' put 'Author A and others (2003), details withheld for peer review' followed by Author B and others, if necessary.
- Abstract of 100-150 words.
- Up to 10 key words.
- All authors must provide a full word count for their paper, fully inclusive of all references, figures and tables. The maximum word length is 8,000 words including all references, figures and tables. Authors should estimate that any figures and tables are the equivalent of 300-500 words of text each. The preferred length is 6000 - 8000 words. Papers exceeding the maximum word count will be unsubmitted.
- Text should be clearly organized with a clear hierarchy of headings and subheadings and quotations exceeding 40 words displayed indented in the text.
- The journal uses notes where necessary. Historical, documentary or archival sources should be cited in endnotes. Discursive endnotes are also allowed. Endnotes are signalled in the text by superscript numbers.
- References in both the text and in any endnotes should follow SAGE Harvard style. References are cited in the text thus: (author, date: page).
- An alphabetical References section should follow the text (and endnotes, if any) using the SAGE Harvard system.
- All line diagrams and photographs are termed 'Figures' and should be referred to as such in the manuscript. They should be numbered consecutively. All figures should have short descriptive captions at the end of the document.
- Articles must be written in English. Use a clear, readable style, avoiding jargon. If technical terms or acronyms must be included, define them when first used. Use non-racist, non-sexist language and plurals rather than he/she.
- UK or US spellings may be used with '-ize' spellings as given in the Oxford English Dictionary (e.g. organize, recognize).
- Use single quotation marks with double quotes inside single quotes. Dates should be presented in the form 1 May 2010. Do not use points in abbreviations, contractions or acronyms (e.g. AD, USA, Dr, PhD)
