PS510-3: Assess the impact of ethical and legal issues on the collection, analysis, and reporting of qualitative research.

In a 7–10-page scholarly research paper, evaluate the debate between proponents of qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Start by assessing the three distinct, but related inquiry concerns:
•Rigorous methods for doing fieldwork
•The credibility of the researcher
•The philosophical belief in the value of qualitative inquiry

How do each of these inquiry concerns relate to qualitative versus quantitative inquiries? Which methodology is more credible? Which methodology is used more in the scientific community? Is there a way to combine both approaches in order to create one integrated inquiry? Which methodology is more acceptable in regards to credibility? Make sure you explain your answers in great detail and use your textbook and additional sources to substantiate your points. Note: These questions needs to be address in the paper & not answered with a yes or no answer.

Along with the text, use a minimum of five scholarly journals, books, articles, or other academic sources when writing this paper.

The project should:
•Follow Assignment directions (review grading rubric for best results).
•Use correct APA formatting per the APA Publication Manual, 6th Edition.
•Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard American English.
