The Evaluation of Systematic Qualitative Research in the Social Sciences

As an expert on evaluation in the social sciences, Lamont was asked by the National Science Foundation report to convene a panel of anthropologists, political scientists, sociologists and law and society scholars to discuss how to evaluate qualitative social science research. This report describes the standards that are shared across disciplines. It also includes papers written by more than twenty contributors on various dimensions of the evaluation process and on how to produce excellent proposals.
