Writing and Publishing Qualitative Research
Patricia Leavy, independent sociologist, Kennebunk, ME
“Leavy shares her years of experience writing all kinds of qualitative research, as well as publishing it.
I don’t know of any other book that covers this topic in such detail….I will use this book in my own
writing practice as well as my classroom. It’s not hyperbole to say that this work may change your
professional life!” —Sandra L. Faulkner, Media and Communication, Bowling Green State University
“Writing is an essential craft for reporting qualitative methodologies and findings. This book fills a
critical gap in education about qualitative inquiry and in paths to publishing. Rather than simply
stating what to do or not do, Leavy provides scaffolded exercises to help researchers build their
all-important ‘writing muscles.’” —Deborah L. Tolman, Women and Gender Studies, Hunter College;
Critical Social Psychology, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York
I deal for graduate students and more seasoned qualitative researchers, this is the first guide to
writing and publishing in a range of both scholarly and popular formats—from journal articles and
monographs to op-eds and fictional works. Award-winning author Patricia Leavy covers everything

W ritten expressly for social and behavioral scientists, this cutting-edge handbook describes the key
concepts and tools of mobile sensing and explains how to plan and conduct a mobile sensing
study. Renowned experts address the whats, whys, and how-tos of collecting “big data” using smart-
phones and other wearables, and explore which research questions can best be addressed with these
tools. Modern statistical methods for analyzing mobile sensing data are described, and key method-
ological challenges and ethical/privacy issues are highlighted throughout.

“Current, highly informative, and useful, this is a ‘go-to’ book for social science graduate students,
faculty, and practitioners….This book is unique in providing the strong psychological measurement
guidance required to apply these techniques most appropriately.” —Fred Oswald, Rice University
This book provides the skills needed to analyze and report large, complex data sets using machine
learning tools, and to understand published machine learning articles. Techniques are demonstrated
using actual data (Big Five Inventory, early childhood learning, and more), with a focus on the inter-
play of statistical algorithm, data, and theory. The identification of heterogeneity, measurement error,

Computerized Adaptive Testing
From Concept to Implementation
David J. Weiss, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota
Alper Şahin, Department of Basic English, Atilim University, Ankara, Turkey
“Written at an accessible level, the book does not require a strong background in psychometrics.
It is an excellent resource for anyone with administrative responsibility for a computerized adaptive
testing (CAT) system, or for courses in applied measurement.”
—Mark Reckase, College of Education (Emeritus), Michigan State University
“Weiss has been involved with CAT from the beginning—he even gave the process its name.
Reading this incredibly detailed, practical guide is like having Weiss as a consultant.”
