Aims and Scope

American Journal of Qualitative Research (AJQR) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed academic journal that publishes qualitative research articles across a range of social science disciplines, including health sciences, psychology, sociology, criminology, education, political science, and administrative studies. The journal has an international and interdisciplinary focus and welcomes submissions from scholars around the world. AJQR provides an intellectual platform where researchers, practitioners, administrators, and policymakers can contribute to and advance qualitative research and analysis. Founded in 2017, the journal serves as an eclectic and international forum for papers reporting original methodological insights and research with a clear qualitative methodological focus, including studies emerging from funded research projects that are relevant to the global research community. AJQR invites scholarship with a multidisciplinary appeal that engages with and advances debates in qualitative methodology while pushing the boundaries of established approaches to qualitative research. The journal particularly welcomes manuscripts that speak to a broad scholarly audience and that explore innovative and diverse ways of thinking about qualitative methods.
