Qualitative research is practiced across diverse disciplines and contexts, and this produces a wide range of perspectives on the role of conceptualization and theory development. It also results in a hugely varied mix of submissions to qualitative research journals in terms of their level of conceptual elevation. This editorial explores why we conceptualize qualitative data, and some common challenges evident in current qualitative practice.

Purpose – This paper aims to offer an insight into the emergent qualitative methodological profile and its distinctive contribution to accounting and management scholarship, particularly reflecting upon the contribution of Qualitative Research in Accounting & Management (QRAM). Design/methodology/approach – It examines the range of qualitative methodologies employed in the research published across the ten years of QRAM and analyses the methodological discourse and its contribution to the armoury available to qualitative researchers. In association with these methodological developments, the paper offers a critique of the articulated role of theory in contemporary accounting and management qualitative research. Findings – A wide range of qualitative methodologies are found to be in evidence, with considerable scope for further adoption and development of some. Methodological exposition papers are found to be a significant contribution in the past decade and include methodological framework building, methodological applications, methodological critiques, and methodological development exemplars. Alongside methodology, the dual role of theory as either informing or reflecting methodology is presented. Originality/value – The paper provides a critical analysis and consideration of qualitative methodological literature development in the last ten years of accounting and management research literature, particularly reflected in QRAM. It identifies dominant methodologies in use, as well as opportunities for expanding the methodological menu in accounting and management research. Furthermore, it classifies groups of methodological papers and their contributing perspectives, as well as addressing the often-vexed relationship between theory and methodology.

Insight Into

Children’s role in the research process is often limited to a passive role as subject, recipient or object of data rather than as active contributor. The sociology of childhood considers children to be competent social actors and advocates for them to be recognised as such. This recognition is yet to filter into mainstream research agendas with children often remaining a passive provider to research that seeks to elicit their perspectives. This article presents an examination of the processes that children use when analysing their own qualitative research data as observed within a qualitative research project. It provides insight into the ability to increase the richness of data obtained when researching with children, by including their perspectives and contributions in the data analysis process. Children’s capacity as capable and competent contributors to research beyond the more passive role of participant is described and the ways that children can have a greater participatory role in qualitative data collection and analysis processes are discussed.

Purpose: the main purpose of this article is to systematize scientific approaches in the field of innovation research, as well as to identify the leading trends and directions of development of innovation theory.Methods: a wide range of research methods was used during the preparation of the article, in particular: system, logical and conceptual-methodological methods.Results: this article contains a detailed review of the leading scientific approaches to the innovation study formed in the last century. The analysis of these scientific theories is carried out. The periodization of the innovation theory development formed by V.Y. Yakovets in 2004 is also updated and supplemented. The author proposes to conduct the process of development of this theory, including the periodization and chronology of stages, starting from the period of origin of the innovation doctrine to the present day.Conclusions and Relevance: the analysis of the leading concepts and theories suggests that scientific ideas about the role of innovation in the economic process have undergone a significant evolution in the 100-year period of their development. From the technical and technological perception of their role, these scientific ideas have progressed to the present time in the direction of the socio-humanitarian paradigm of innovation.

Percussive Technology

In recent years, there is growing interest in the study of percussion scars and breakage patterns on hammerstones, cores and tools from Oldowan African and Eurasian lithic assemblages. Oldowan stone toolkits generally contain abundant small-sized flakes and their corresponding cores, and are characterized by their structural dichotomy of heavy- and light-duty tools. This paper explores the significance of the lesser known heavy-duty tool component, providing data from the late Lower Pleistocene sites of Barranco León and Fuente Nueva 3 (Orce, Spain), dated 1.4–1.2 Myr. Using quantitative and qualitative data from the large-sized limestone industries from these two major sites, we present a new methodology highlighting their morpho-technological features. In the light of the results, we discuss the shortfalls of extant classificatory methods for interpreting the role of percussive technology in early toolkits. This work is rooted in an experimental program designed to reproduce the wide range of percussion marks observed on the limestone artefacts from these two sites. A visual and descriptive reference is provided as an interpretative aid for future comparative research. Further experiments using a variety of materials and gestures are still needed before the elusive traces yield the secrets of the kinds of percussive activities carried out by hominins at these, and other, Oldowan sites.

The current COVID-19 crisis has revealed the crucial role of online communication technologies in providing unique opportunities to carry out qualitative research in online user-based testing. The ability to provide a shared common space for participants living in different parts of the world and to record discursive data in text format accurately, makes these tools crucial in gathering qualitative data for research studies (Turney & Pocknee, 2005). Although the accessibility of the online communication platforms is improving, they still present significant challenges for all users, especially when running synchronous meeting sessions with participants in remote settings (Dodds & Hess, 2020).

Abstract Long-distance caregivers (LDCs) are defined by geography, with little known about what they actually do when visiting and from afar. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 304 LDCs. Half of LDCs lived more than 500 miles away from the care receiver (CR); 38% visited at least 1x a month, another 53% visited several times a year. Visit length varied extensively, ranging from one to 90 days at a time, with a median of 3 days. A wide range of care management tasks were common both when visiting and from afar; and targeted both formal providers and other informal caregivers. Emotional support and help with ADLs and IADLs were common during in-person visits. Other examples of emerging themes include: building relationships with formal care providers; personalizing care through, for example, special foods and/or activities; and the role of resources in determining visit length and help provided.

Practices related to media technologies and infrastructures (MTI) are an increasingly important part of democratic constellations in general and of surveillance tactics in particular. This article does not seek to discuss surveillance <em>per se</em>, but instead to open a new line of inquiry by presenting qualitative research on the Chaos Computer Club (CCC)—one of the world’s largest and Europe’s oldest hacker organizations. Despite the longstanding conception of hacking as infused with political significance, the scope and style of hackers’ engagement with emerging issues related to surveillance remains poorly understood. The rationale of this paper is to examine the CCC as a civil society organization that counter-acts contemporary assemblages of surveillance in two ways: first, by de-constructing existing technology and by supporting, building, maintaining and using alternative media technologies and infrastructures that enable more secure and anonymous communication; and second, by articulating their expertise related to contemporary MTI to a wide range of audiences, publics and actors. Highlighting the significance of “privacy” for the health of democracy, I argue that the hacker organization is co-determining “interstitial spaces within information processing practices” (Cohen, 2012, p. 1931), and by doing so is acting on indispensable structural features of contemporary democratic constellations.
