Ending the week on a high. Spreading the word about participatory methods in research and the joy, wonder, power and impact of working with communities. Lovely.

Grainne & Becca delivering the first (of hopefully many) workshops on community-based participatory research methods to PhD researchers from law, arts, humanities, heritage, life sciences and more! The change is happening! CHOICE IS LEADING A MOVEMENT.

Took the dogs for a nighttime beach walk at Lisfannon, Co. Donegal. Got treated to our own aurora show. Beautiful. A reminder to look for magic this coming year.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

“Where are the findings? You only provide quotes.”

New article considers qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent peer review feedback

Open Access: dx.doi.org/10.1037/qup0...

Few quotes follow 🧵
Although peer review is one of the central pillars of academic publishing, qualitative researchers’ experiences of this process have been largely overlooked. Existing research and commentary have focused on peer reviewers’ comments on qualitative articles, which are often described as indicative of a quantitative mindset or hostility to nonpositivist qualitative research. We extend this literature by focusing on qualitative researchers’ experiences of methodologically incongruent reviewer and editor comments—comments that are incommensurate with the conceptual foundations of the reviewed research. Qualitative researchers (N = 163) from a range of health and social science disciplines, including psychology, responded to a brief qualitative survey. Most contributors reported that peer reviewers and editors universalized the assumptions and expectations of postpositivist research and reporting. Some also reported that peer reviewers and editors universalized the norms and values particular to specific qualitative approaches. Contributors were concerned that peer reviewers often accept review invitations when they lack relevant methodological expertise and editors often select peer reviewers without such expertise. In response to methodologically incongruent comments, many contributors described a process of initially “pushing back” and explaining why these comments were incongruent with their research. When this educative approach was unsuccessful, some knowingly compromised the methodological integrity of their research and acquiesced to reviewer and editor requests. Earlier career researchers especially highlighted the powerlessness they felt in the peer review process in the context of a “publish or perish” academic climate. We end by outlining contributors’ recommendations for improving the methodological integrity of the peer review of qualitative research.

Love this graphic I found over in LinkedIn - credit Lennart Nacke. As an evolving qualitative researcher with a passion for Participatory Action Research I love finding handy summaries and this format suits me to organise new information. #ResearchShouldHealCommunities #RadicalResearcher

Foggy #Derry yesterday morning. Foggy Belfast yesterday evening. The fog is so quiet and spooky. I love it. Until I have to drive.

One of my favourite things to look at is a tree on its own in a bleak landscape. This wee tree grows on the bogland at An Creagan outside Omagh. Beautiful 💜
