Aims & Scope
FQS is a peer-reviewed multilingual open-access journal for qualitative research, established in 1999.
FQS is interested in empirical studies conducted using qualitative methods, and in contributions that deal with the theory, methodology and application of qualitative research.
Innovative ways of thinking, writing, researching and presenting are especially welcome.
On request, we will endeavor to organize Internet-specific forms of interaction between authors and readers, such as online discussions.
We favor contributions with an inter-disciplinary and/or multinational perspective which was already manifest at the conceptualization stage, for example through co-authorship.
