*Please forgive the cross-posting* Dear All, I would like to inform you that the 17th FQS Issue -- "Secondary Analysis of Qualitative Data" (http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt1-05-e.htm) -- is available online. FQS 6(1), edited by Louise Corti, Andreas Witzel & Libby Bishop, is dedicated to a topic we already dealt with in the first year of FQS: FQS 1(3) -- Text . Archive . Re-Analysis (http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs/fqs-e/inhalt3-00-e.htm) -- was an overdue attempt to draw attention to the subject of qualitative archiving, data protection, and secondary analysis. More than four years later, FQS 6(1) indicates the important progress in the field of secondary analyses, but also the necessity for further discussion. Many researchers are not sufficiently informed about possible methods and technical means for archiving and secondary analysis. In most countries qualitative data and resource centers do still not exist to support researchers -- the British Qualidata (http://www.qualidata.essex.ac.uk/), participating in editing FQS 1(3) as well as FQS 6(1) -- is still a prominent forerunner. Also the methodological implications of secondary analyses need to be discussed in more details. This refers to questions of anonymization, confidentiality and ethics as well as to valid, creative and resource saving ways of how to ask "new questions from the old data." Hopefully this new FQS issue will deliver additional insights and arouse further discussions. As with previous issues, in addition to contributions relating to "secondary analysis," FQS 6(1) also provides articles that belong to various FQS rubrics: The FQS Debate on Qualitative Research and Ethics, which began in 2004, received ten contributions from American and Canadian researchers. Furthermore, FQS 6(1) contains three articles, belonging to the FQS Debate on Quality of Qualitative Research, and nine new review notes and review essays. We wish hopefully stimulating readings and discussions!
