Successful Qualitative Research: A Practical Guide for Beginners is an accessible, practical textbook. It sidesteps detailed theoretical discussion in favor of providing a comprehensive overview of strategic tips and skills for starting and completing successful qualitative research.

Uniquely, the authors provide a "patterns framework" to qualitative data analysis in this book, also known as "thematic analysis." The authors walk students through a basic thematic approach, and compare and contrast this with other approaches. This discussion of commonalities, explaining why and when each method should be used, and in the context of looking at patterns, will provide students with complete confidence for their qualitative research journey.

This textbook will be an essential textbook for undergraduates and postgraduates taking a course in qualitative research or using qualitative approaches in a research project.

Review

′Like water wings for the qualitative research beginner, Successful Qualitative Research: A Practical Guide for Beginners gracefully supports methodological novices until they learn to swim elegantly, on their own, in qualitative waters… As a teacher, researcher or a student, you will want to thank the gifted methodologists Braun and Clarke for making it all seem so easy′
Michelle Fine
The City University of New York, NY, USA

′This is an admirably useful textbook that provides an uncommonly accessible, practical, and absorbing introduction for beginners to qualitative research′

Eva Magnusson
Umeå University, UMEÅ, Sweden

′A clear, engaging and intelligent qualitative research guide which will greatly appeal to students new to this area. The authors should be commended for their lively style and attention to often hidden processes and practices involved in successful qualitative research′
Brendan Gough
Leeds Metropolitan University

′This book provides an excellent introduction to qualitative research, combining in-depth explanation of the distinctive nature and goals of qualitative research methods with practical tips and helpful examples for beginners′

Lucy Yardley
University of Southampton

′Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke present a clear and comprehensive road map for executing a successful qualitative study. They do so in a very engaging way that really brings the process to life for the reader. This book will be an essential read for anyone contemplating a qualitative research project′
Guy Faulkner
University of Toronto

′This practical guide refreshingly demystifies the qualitative research process, relentlessly pushing an agenda for uncomplicated but high standards across the board and generously enabling anyone, no matter how inexperienced, to get on with it and do it well. It is the kind of guide that not only says how to do it but that actually shows how to do it, with a myriad of real, reproduced examples, extremely useful tables, boxes, chapter summaries, questions for discussion, exercises and lists of resources including references to a companion website with even more guidance and examples.′ -- Edith Steffen Published On: 2013-11-18

Typos' so many typos.. besides this a good and engaging read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2018

Verified Purchase

I was very engaged in this book although the number and regularity of the relatively simple typos made me question the accuracy of its advice. In the world of qual research/social science where everything is so nebulous and reading the best material is so important this worried me(why I'm back here reading other reviews).

I'm relatively new so can't comment on the accuracy necessarily of the content, however, it seems very detailed, well thought out, if not for the typo's I would comfortably rate this 5 stars and not now be looking for a comparable book to cross-reference some of it's more theoretical aspects.

Helped me get Distinction for Master's dissertation - No previous research experience

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 March 2020

Verified Purchase

I have zero research experience and this taught me everything to conduct primary qualitative research. Most helpful book I used for my Master's degree research dissertation. Guides you through the whole process. It got me a high distinction! I borrowed a lot of other similar research books from the library but this one was the best, answered all my questions and so easy to follow.

This should be on EVERY researchers bookshelf

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 February 2015

Verified Purchase

This wonderful book should be compulsory for every qualitative researcher and actually every quantitative researcher, who will immediately reconsider their stance.

Personally, I'm a mixed methods girl - but that's only because I was quantitative until I bought this book. Braun made a convert of me.

I am using this to support a research study programme. It is very useful. A well-written and accessible text.

Without this book I don't think I could have understood and complete my masters research and report. The authors are enthusiastic and very upfront about qualitative design. Many times I felt 'we' we're having a conversation! Easy to read and very informative.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2017

I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone studying psychology and writing qualitative research. I am currently writing my dissertation at masters level and have found this book invaluable. I've tried loads of other texts but find them complicate and dry. This is so incredibly easy to read and make sense of. It's life changing!
