Dear All, The 9th issue of the on-line journal FQS is now available at http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-eng.htm. As mentioned in the Editorial, we are pleased to announce that we had an overwhelming amount of contributions and we have decided to manage this situation by devoting two issues to the topic of subjectivity and reflexivity (Part II will appear in May 2003). In the current issue, in addition to articles, linked directly to the topic, you will also find selected single contributions and review essays and notes. Furthermore, we started in FQS 3(3) a new debate on "Doing Successful Research in the Social Sciences--Ethnography of the Career Politics of an Occupational Group." Enjoy reading!
