 A must-have guidebook by Jennifer Dale and Susan Abbott

The core skills required to be a good Qualitative Research Consultant (QRC) are the same for online qualitative as they are for in-person research. Clear research objectives, an effective screening questionnaire, an unbiased discussion guide and insightful analysis are the foundation of any good qualitative research study.

If you are new to your career in qualitative research, learning how to do online qualitative is a foundational skill, as important as learning how to do in-person research. Learning at least some of these approaches is a stepping stone to the new tools that will continue to come along.

Looking ahead, it seems obvious to us that most researchers will be offering their clients new ways and new approaches using online methods.
