Abstract | This paper describes and explains how journal writing may be used as a qualitative research technique in long-term qualitative studies. Journal writing has a long and reliable history in the arts and humanities, and it provides qualitative researchers with a powerful heuristic tool. The notion of a comprehensive reflective journal to address the researcher's self is critical in qualitative work due to the fact that the researcher is the research instrument. Interactive journal writing between a researcher and participants is also a useful qualitative technique. A brief historical overview of journal writing sets the stage for the discussion of journal writing as a way to document the researcher's role, triangulate data by using the journal as a data set, and using the journal with participants as a communicative act. These points are illustrated by excerpts from the researcher's own journal about writing the paper. (Contains 10 references.) (SLD) |
