With most training-workshops in scientific writing for publication focused on the quantitative/descriptive design, there is a clamor for courses in the effective writing for publication of research articles in the qualitative kind. Both complex and multimethod in focus, qualitative research is exploratory in nature and seeks to explain the “hows” and “whys” of a particular phenomenon. As writing qualitative research articles is considered to be a creative endeavor with unlimited possibilities, how can qualitative researchers meet the standardized expectations of academic journals to merit its publication?
