The importance of interviews with experts for social science research practice is undisputed – whether as a standalone qualitative research method or as an exploratory or supplementary tool in both qualitative and quantitative research designs.
This volume offers a concise introduction to the theoretical foundations and diverse practical applications of expert interviews, with a focus on practical research issues. Alongside a discussion of the methodological background and key concepts in the sociology of knowledge, the focus is on preparation, conduct and evaluation.
This second, fully revised and updated edition expands on the discussion of research ethics and good scientific practice. Detailed guidance on dealing with artificial intelligence rounds off the volume.
