Cynthia Russell, a professor at The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, has set up what’s probably the first Qualitative Research resource based on a wiki. Of the 20 journals she has linked to, only 3 offer free access:
Free Access Journals:
- Forum: Qualitative Social Research – online journal designed to promote discussion and cooperation among qualitative researchers from different countries and social science disciplines. 3 issues/year.
- International Journal of Qualitative Methods – the journal’s goals are to advance the development of qualitative methods, and to disseminate methodological knowledge to the broadest possible community of academics, students, and professionals who undertake qualitative research. 4 issues/year.
- The Qualitative Report – a peer-reviewed, on-line journal devoted to writing and discussion of and about qualitative, critical, action, and collaborative inquiry and research. 4 issues/year.
Case in point for an Open Access movement in this field??
