“The leading journals prefer quantitative research over qualitative research.”
Ummm… maybe because it’s quantitative?
I’m a person who’s worked in the sciences and engineering (mostly academic, but also in the real world). Given my background, I’m amazed why anyone thinks the qualitative is more valuable than, or even equal to, the quantitative. That’s like saying we should prefer circumstantial evidence over facts in a court of law.
(Oh, and in case you were thinking otherwise, I’m also a woman.)
