Basics of Qualitative Research by Anselm Strauss (1990, Paperback)

Written in accessible language and replete with definitions and examples, Basics of Grounded Theory provides a step-by-step approach to doing research from formulation of the initial research question, through various systems of coding and analysis, to the process of writing or speaking on the research topic. A final chapter containing standards for evaluating a grounded theory study will establish the benchmark for this kind of work. This volume is an invaluable tool for the novice researcher and a useful text for courses in qualitative research in social science programmes and for professionals engaged in research.
