“Beyond Paradigm & Method: 5 Articles on the Fundamental Role of Quality Principles in Qualitative Research Design” is a small compilation of articles appearing in Research Design Review between 2014-2022. Although there are an abundance of articles in RDR pertaining to a quality approach to qualitative research, the articles selected for this compilation highlight paradigm and method neutrality. That is, the idea that quality principles of design are fundamental and necessary — e.g., as a step towards inclusion and giving participants a “fair voice” — regardless of the researcher’s philosophical orientation or qualitative method.
