Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research (JEQR) is a quarterly, peer-reviewed periodical, publishing scholarly articles that address topics relating directly to empirical qualitative research and conceptual articles addressing topics related to qualitative. The journal has been assigned ISSN #1935-3308. It is indexed with ERIC and EBSCO (H.W. Wilson, Social Science Full Text, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences, SocINDEX, and Academic Search Complete). Additionally, we intend to pursue abstract indexing with PsychInfo and other indexing organizations. An example of a published JEQR article is Researching Violence: Conducting Risky Fieldwork in Dangerous Spaces Across Latin America and the Caribbean.

JEQR is a printed journal available for subscription at university libraries. Inquiries, including permission for reprints, should be sent to firminks@att.net. The journal (ISSN 1935-3308) accepts unsolicited manuscripts from all scholars, with prompt feedback regarding their status for potential publication.

Beyond typical fair-use federal guidelines, permission is granted for the photocopying of single articles for use by university faculty in non-profit contexts, including library reserve use or reading packets. This assumes that no profit is made from the copying and permission has been obtained from the article's respective lead author. PDF files of JEQR articles are provided to authors which reasonably may be shared at their discretion for teaching and limited scholarly purposes, provided the non-profit parameters indicated above. JEQR articles may not be reprinted elsewhere without express consent from the journal's executive editor.

JEQR gratefully acknowledges peer-review assistance from the Editorial Board. In the spirit of open academic inquiry, views expressed in the articles represent the respective authors and are not necessarily endorsed by the editors or related universities.

Among other quality research conferences, potential JEQR authors are encouraged to first present their papers at the Ethnographic & Qualitative Research Conference. EQRC began at the University of Massachusetts (Amherst), moving to Teachers College, Columbia University in New York City. Subsequent sponsors included Duquesne University (Pittsburgh), State University of New York (Albany), and Cedarville University (Greater Dayton area, Ohio). EQRC possesses a long and rich tradition as a forum for dissemination of scholarly ideas in the qualitative research tradition. The conference is usually held in February, with the call for papers issued in fall semester. Visit www.eqrc.net for details.

In addition to EQRC, the journal also publishes juried papers from a number of other quality conferences, following independent peer-review by JEQR staff and its review board members. Please notify the JEQR editor if you are aware of other qualitative research conferences that may desire affiliation with the journal.

JEQR also welcomes submissions of all manuscripts that have not been presented at conferences. Although authors often benefit from the feedback received through conference presentation, it is not an explicit or implicit requirement for JEQR publication and the editorial staff welcome all original manuscripts that are not simultaneously under other journal publication consideration or review.
