the quantitative qualitative divide revisited a study of published research doctoral program curricula and Journal Editor perceptions
Journal of Criminal Justice Education, 2008Co-Authors: Kevin BucklerAbstract:This article explores the quantitative/qualitative divide in the fields of criminology and criminal justice. The article reports findings from a study of: (1) quantitative and qualitative methods used in a sample of Journal articles published in top‐tier and lower‐tier academic Journals; (2) doctoral methods and statistics curricula; and (3) Journal Editor perceptions about the quantitative/qualitative divide. The study found a large gap between the use of quantitative and qualitative methods in published research that reported empirical findings. The content analysis of Ph.D. curricula suggests that the qualitative/quantitative divide in published research is a logical extension of a similar divide in the teaching of methods in doctoral programs. The interviews with Journal Editors suggest that they are generally receptive to qualitatively oriented research; however, these Journal Editors also identified several important barriers that contribute to the ongoing divide in published criminology and crimina...

Conflicts of interest in dermatology.
Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2006Co-Authors: Hywel C Williams, Anders Vahlquist, Carle Paul, Sara Schroter, Luigi Naldi, Ray JoblingAbstract:Conflicts of interest exist in dermatology when professional judgement concerning a primary interest, such as research validity, may be influenced by a secondary interest, such as financial gain from a for-profit organization. Conflict of interest is a condition and not a behaviour, although there is clear evidence that gifts influence behaviour. Little has been written about conflicts of interest in dermatology. This series of papers raises awareness of the subject by exploring it in greater depth from the perspective of a dermatology researcher, an industry researcher, a dermatology Journal Editor, a health services researcher and a patient representative. Collectively, they illustrate the many ways in which conflicts can pervade the world of dermatology publications and patient support group activities.

educational research in an era of paradigm proliferation what s a Journal Editor to do
Educational Researcher, 1996Co-Authors: Robert DonmoyerAbstract:This Editorial/essay functions on at least two levels. At the most obvious level, it is an attempt by theEducational Researcher's new Features Editor to figure out how to play the gatekeeper role at a time when there is little consensus in the field about what research is and what scholarly discourse should look like. Specific policies, procedures, and decision rules are articulated to guide the manuscript review process. The problems and issues confronting an Editor of one of the field's major scholarly Journals, however, can also be seen as representative of the types of problems and issues confronting others who play other sorts of roles in the field. Consequently, many of the issues discussed (e.g., the significance of discourse style, the inadequacy of the qualitative/quantitative distinction, the problems with the Balkanization response) and the principles articulated (e.g., the principle of pragmatic incommensurability) can be transferred to other situations beyond this particular case.

the future of medical Journal publishing the Journal Editor s perspective looking back looking forward
Circulation, 2016Co-Authors: Joseph LoscalzoAbstract:> After the birth of printing, books became widespread…men quickly learned [about] so many topics….[E]specially since 1563, the number of [publications] in every field is greater than all those produced in the past thousand years….I really believe that at last the world is alive, indeed [intellectually] stimulating. > > —Johannes Kepler, De Stella Nova in Johannes Kepler Gesammelte Werke , vol 1. 1937, pp 330 to 332 Scientific information is of no value without dissemination. Before the advent of the printing press, new scientific knowledge was shared by word-of-mouth, by hand-written correspondence, or by the assiduous efforts of scribes who copied information on semipermanent media in libraries of papyrus scrolls. These methods of communication all suffered from limited reader access. With the invention of the printing press in the 15th century, mass production of printed materials became possible. The practical limitations of earlier methods of information sharing were immediately eliminated, with the resulting explosive growth in the publication of books of all sorts. The sciences, in particular, benefitted greatly from mechanical printing. The scientific method and the progress of science require that new observations are shared with the scientific community, both to encourage their replication and to advance the discipline. Each new scientific observation adds to the corpus of scientific knowledge, and the more rapidly the observation can be shared, the more rapidly the field progresses. To this end, the first scientific Journals were established in 1665: the French Le Journal des Scavans (January 1665) and the English Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London (March 1665). These Journals presented reports on topics across the spectrum of science (natural philosophy), without emphasis on any particular branch of the discipline. The first biomedical Journal was Acta Medica et Philosophica Hafniensia (1673). This Journal was edited by Thomas Bartholin, physician and professor of anatomy …
