MJQR Vol 5_1 < Back MJQR VOL. 5 (1), May 2019 Preface Although there is a growing acceptance of qualitative studies, there is no widely accepted set of ideas in regard to the use of a theoretical framework to guide the inquiry. Lack of available conceptual maps provided by theoretical frameworks, and the qualitative “black box” tradition all contribute to a dearth of methodological guidance in such studies. The first article on: Lecturer, student and patient’s experience toward Simulated Patient programme, uses the Theory of Interpersonal Communication (Dainton and Zelly,2005) as an example to explain the utility of a theoretical framework in conceptualizing a study, making design decisions such as sampling and recruitment, collecting and analyzing data, and data interpretation. According to Chou, Tu and Huang (2013), story makes the implicit explicit, the hidden seen, the unformed formed, and the confusing clear. Our success as researchers, and the legacy of our work, depends not on our ability to analyze and number-crunch but on how we craft stories which resonate with our audience. It is only then that data becomes insight, becomes ideas, and becomes action. Thus, Yee presents a welcoming and timely paper on: The value of stories in qualitative interviews: Using narrative inquiry as a methodology. The paper offers an overview of the method of narrative inquiry and explores competing trends in the use of the approach. It not only examines the theories relating to the method but also advocate capitalizing on the stories participants tell during qualitative interviews. In so doing, this paper demonstrates the value of stories and narratives in facilitating the goal of research using qualitative interviews to gain considerable depths, and a contextual appreciation of the social phenomena under investigation. Thus, Yee presents a welcoming and timely paper on: The value of stories in qualitative interviews: Using narrative inquiry as a methodology. The paper offers an overview of the method of narrative inquiry and explores competing trends in the use of the approach. It not only examines the theories relating to the method but also advocate capitalizing on the stories participants tell during qualitative interviews. In so doing, this paper demonstrates the value of stories and narratives in facilitating the goal of research using qualitative interviews to gain considerable depths, and a contextual appreciation, of the social phenomena under investigation. In the third article by Low, I ask you to consider the entire research process as a reflexive exercise which provides answers to the question: 'What is going on in the methods?' I believe that if the research process is well sign-posted, the readers will be able to travel easily through the worlds of the participants and will find this paper a useful reference, particularly those interested in deploying the grounded theory approach in healthcare research. The final article by Nooriha adopts a qualitative research approach on the issue of car lease swap among the car lease dealers, car owners and third parties (buyers) in Malaysian context. This qualitative research enables the questions of how and why people used car leased swap mechanism to obtain their desired car. From the findings the author recommended further research should be conducted with relevant government agencies as well as other appropriate parties involved in investigating the issues of this car lease swap. We hope that these articles will provide you with further insight into the various qualitative research designs, its practices and outcome. More importantly we hope that MJQR is able to provide readings that can serve as useful reference and platform for sharing and discussing qualitative research.

MJQR Vol_2007 < Back MJQR, VOL. 1, 2007 Preface We are proud to publish our first issue of the Malaysian Journal of Qualitative Research (MJQR). We would like to thank all who have contributed to the publication of this first issue - especially our reviewers and contributors. The focus of this first issue is to share some insights and experiences of professionals and practitioners on two pertinent issues in qualitative research: the value of qualitative research and the ethics involved. In relation to that, a book review on the experiences of local researchers in the application of the qualitative research methodology is provided to give the Malaysian perspective. The first article, "Whose Data Is It Anyway? Ethics in Qualitative Research", discusses a critical and pertinent issue of ethics in data collection and ownership. Helen Simons proposes that co-ownership of data between the researcher and subject be considered. The second article, "Qualitative Research Endeavour: Negotiation Access and Ethical Dilemmas" by Mohd. Hasani Dali and Mohd Rosli Abdul Rahman shares the various ethical issues experienced in their fieldwork and the impact these issues had on their research design. In the third article, "An approach to phenomenological analysis of data," Khatijah Lim Abdullah discusses the application of van Manen's (1990 ) six research activities as a framework for her research approach and the rationale for using the heidegerrian-gadamerian phenomenological approach. The fourth article, "Quality in Qualitative Research and Reporting: A Consideration of Practitioner Research" by John Loughran, outlines the criteria of quality in qualitative research using teacher research as a case in point. He discusses the relevance of qualitative research in education and the different world views of research that shape the kind of resultant knowledge it presents to its audience. In the final article, "Using Software to Analyse Qualitative Data," Michael Jones explains the advantages of using NVivoTM, a software developed by QSR International Pry Ltd. (2002) to ease the analysis of qualitative data. We hope that these articles and the book review will provide you with an insight into qualitative research, its practices and outcomes. More importantly, we hope that MJQR is able to provide the platform for sharing and discussing qualitative research.
