Ever wondered what goes into publishing qualitative research in addiction journals? This episode of Addiction Audio dives into the nitty-gritty with Professor Jo Neale from King's College London and Professor Brian Kelly from Indiana University. Hosted by Dr Elle Wadsworth, the conversation sheds light on the editorial changes in the Addiction journal, aiming to bolster qualitative research submissions.
You'll hear about the increased word limit, now a generous 6,000 words, which opens up new possibilities for researchers struggling with space constraints. The duo discusses the challenges qualitative papers face in getting published, often due to editors lacking a qualitative orientation. To combat this, they've ensured manuscripts are reviewed by those with expertise in qualitative methods. A fascinating point raised is the journal's preference for semi-quantification over exact numbers, fostering a more nuanced representation of data.
The podcast also tackles the cyclical problem of low submissions leading to fewer published qualitative papers, perpetuating the misconception that such work isn't welcome. Jo and Brian hope to break this cycle by encouraging more submissions and clarifying guidelines for authors. With their engaging dialogue and a sprinkle of humour, this episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in addiction research or simply curious about the publishing process.
So, why not tune in and explore how these changes could impact the future of qualitative research in addiction?
