Description

Qualitative diary methods (QDMs) are a versatile range of multi-modal data collection methods that involve participants recording events and experiences, and emotions and reflections, as they happen, on multiple occasions and over a particular time period. These data collection methods include a pen and paper diary, as well as other electronic modes of diary keeping, including text but also audio, photo-, video-, and app-based diaries that allow for a range of modalities.

Jolicoeur
This text offers an important addition to qualitative research methodologies for consideration in the context of today′s expanding sources of data. -- Lisa R. Roberts
