\nQUALITATIVE APPROACHES TO POLICY ANALYSIS & RESEARCH<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nAbstracts Due: December 1, 2017 \u2022 Full Manuscript Due: May 1, 2018<\/p>\n
\ninquiry while detailing how to engage with these approaches in order to be practically useful to
\nboth the novice and experienced researcher. To that end, we seek a series of articles addressing
\nnew approaches or previously un-interrogated approaches to policy research, broken down into
\nthe core inquiry processes of data collection, data analysis, data transformation, as well as a
\nbroader examination of theoretical frameworks, paradigmatic issues, and collaborative
\napproaches relevant to qualitative public policy research. By attending, comprehensively, to the
\ndescriptions of how these innovative approaches are applied to one or two cases, this issue will
\nserve as a resource to researchers seeking new approaches to meet the complex needs of public
\npolicy research. We argue that although quantitative research now dominates public policy, there
\nis a need not only for qualitative approaches but also a need to rigorously detail such approaches
\nfor broader use. The intention is not to replace quantitative methods; rather, it is to expand the
\ntoolbox of available techniques. We are seeking contributions from a range of fields and
\ndisciplines that address the following: qualitative approaches to data collection for policy
\nresearch; data transformation in policy research; theoretical frameworks in qualitative policy
\nanalysis; paradigmatic issues in qualitative policy analysis; and collaborative approaches to
\nqualitative policy research.<\/p>\n
\nformat suitable for publication as a journal article. In contrast to a typical empirical article, these
\nmanuscripts will emphasize a thorough discussion of the innovative research design and its
\napplication to public policy analysis and research. Akin to a case, the application will illustrate to
\nresearchers how the qualitative design is used and the outcomes. Particular emphasis should be
\ngiven to examples of innovative features in the articles, particularly as each relates to the policy
\nanalysis and research knowledge-base.<\/p>\n
\nto the issue editors at qualitativepolicyanalysis@gmail.com<\/strong>. The abstract should (a) summarize
\nthe method that will be considered and its appropriateness to policy analysis, (b) identify 1-2
\nempirical examples that will serve as application cases, and (c) address the innovativeness of the
\napproach. Prospective contributors will hear from us by January 15, 2018.<\/p>\n
