Abstract

The qualitative research article under scrutinyRevista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva receives articles that adopt a qualitative approach in order to analyze health issues. Regrettably, many such articles are refused. In this editorial, we share our experience as editors and we venture to offer a few tips to authors.We provide here a list of the most common problems cited by the peer reviewers: the use of generalist titles to address specific issues; incomplete abstracts, i.e. failing to specify the topic of the research, the details of the research plan or method, data analysis or discussion and conclusions drawn; key words that do not tally with the appropriate terms for the area; introductions that fail to contextualize the theme nationally and internationally; a purely formal description of the method used without highlighting how the issue is addressed, the place of study, the universe and search tools, the field work and how the analysis was performed; presentation of the results without straying from the description of empirical data, except for a formal categorization; descriptive discussion with little analytical detail and without debating empirical data and concepts; and conclusions that often tend to feature one of two problems: either they continue the discussion even citing bibliography, or they stray from the subject, raising new issues that have no bearing on the subject under scrutiny.We tentatively put forward seven suggestions for initiating a dialogue with the authors: (1) think carefully about the title, so that it is a brief summary of the issue addressed in the text. Get the reader interested in your text; (2) provide a cogent abstract listing the objectives, methodology, results and conclusions. Remember that when readers are interested in your article, they will scan the title and abstract: motivate them to read it by providing pertinent information; (3) list key words that are part of the terms established for the topic to facilitate bibliographical research; (4) concentrate on an introduction that, at the very least, provides an illuminating bibliography at national and international level on the discussion of the research question addressed and, where necessary, put it in context in terms of time and space; (5) give a methodological description of how your results were obtained, citing the approach used and how you established the space and scope of the research; how you decided on the search and sample group, if necessary; specify what tools were used to conduct the data collection work; how the material was ordered, classified and analyzed, not omitting to mention the ethical procedures; (6) when making a qualitative analysis, we suggest two alternatives: describe the data categorized according to the relevance established by the investigators in the field at the same time as they are discussed in depth and in breadth; or, first, present a description by means of classifications that arise from the categories brought in from the field, and then initiate a discussion which is based on the ...

“…Submeteu-se os dados à Análise de Conteúdo na Modalidade Temática, sendo um conjunto de estratégias para extrair dos discursos diversificados seus sentidos e significados. Dá-se da busca dos "núcleos de sentidos" inseridos em uma comunicação, confrontando-os com o objetivo do estudo e referencial teórico (Minayo, 2016).…”

“…Após a transcrição das entrevistas na íntegra, foi realizada uma leitura exaustiva do material coletado, no intuito de compreender o sentido global das experiências do sujeito, para poder extrair as unidades de registro a partir da questão norteadora. Assim, as falas foram agrupadas em tópicos conforme suas semelhanças, formando-se as categorias (Minayo et al, 2016).
