This book shares young scholars¿ (current PhD students and those who completed their PhD between 2010 and 2015) experiences with conducting qualitative social research. Intended as a guide for newcomers to the field, it focuses on the practical issues encountered by qualitative researchers rather than methodological discussions. Accordingly, it addresses a range of representative issues in the qualitative research process ¿ namely research design, data access, data collection, and data analysis ¿ and covers a variety of social sciences topics.
