“…The questions in the interview schedule were informed by an analysis of the literature and were closely aligned to the research questions. An inductive approach to data gathering and analysis was adopted (Bryman & Burgess, 1994) to gain insight and understanding from patterns in the data as opposed to testing preconceived theories (Taylor & Bogdan, 1998, pp. 7-8).…”

The paper reports the findings of a small‐scale qualitative investigation into academic staff perceptions of research cultures across 10 English and Scottish university education departments. The study sheds light on four interrelated issues: the nature of research cultures, perceived facilitators, perceived constraints and the emotional landscape of working within a research environment. The findings indicate that perceptions vary according to staff academic and scientific capital, largely determined by career background and the type of university institution in which they work. While there is evidence of a culture of performativity and intensification, there is also evidence of widespread commitment to (and enjoyment of) educational research, especially where its value is broadly conceived to include outputs of applied research (including action research) as well as basic and strategic research. It is concluded that a broader policy conception of what constitutes value in research, coupled with a deeper understanding of the complex social and emotional factors that impact on academic well‐being, will be important to building both commitment and long‐term research capacity.

“…The interviews are the most central source. In total, the study builds on 35 semi-structured interviews (Bryman, 2002) with researchers involved in the more general field of bioinformatics and/or the winter oats project. Of the interviews, 16 were related to the winter oats project and its context specifically.…”

“…Qualitative data analysis was interpretive and informed by the constant comparative method [39][40][41]. JA led the analysis, reading transcripts several times to identify emerging themes and develop analytic categories.…”

“…JA led the analysis, reading transcripts several times to identify emerging themes and develop analytic categories. We developed these themes by comparing within and between transcripts throughout data collection in an iterative process and sampling continued until theoretical saturation was achieved [39][40][41][42]. BY and MT supported this process by reading a sample of the transcripts and 'testing' and developing the analysis by periodically discussing the transcripts.…”

“…BY and MT supported this process by reading a sample of the transcripts and 'testing' and developing the analysis by periodically discussing the transcripts. We followed several procedures to ensure the quality of analysis, including respondent validation whereby we discussed the emerging analysis with later participants, and by attending to deviant cases [40,41]. We scrutinized the quality of the developing analysis according to its coherence and potential to influence practice and policy, a process that was assisted by discussion of the analysis among all authors.…”
