Abstract

Does this sound familiar? Despite conducting a rigorous qualitative study, you find yourself facing tenuous criticism from reviewers for esteemed professional journals, who question the purpose, methodology, researcher bias, and significance of your study's findings. The number of published qualitative phenomenological studies in health professions literature has grown dramatically over the last four decades. Nevertheless, qualitative researchers often face what seems like insurmountable barriers to disseminating their work in health professions journals that historically publish quantitative manuscripts. The presenters will share their own lived experience of submitting qualitative research manuscripts for publication in professional journals, and suggest strategies to strengthen manuscripts and persevere in the struggle to bring meaningful findings to the forefront of health professions' literature.
