美国心理学协会出版物和通信委员会定性研究期刊文章报告标准工作组（JARS-Qual工作组）负责检查期刊文章报告标准的状态，因为它们适用于定性研究，并为心理学学科内的广泛方法提出标准建议。这些标准描述了研究报告中应包括哪些内容，以促进审查过程。这份出版物标志着一个历史性的时刻-首次纳入阿帕风格的定性研究，这是美国心理学会出版手册（阿帕，2010）和APA风格中心的基础，APA风格中心是一个支持阿帕风格的在线计划。除了一般的JARS-Qual指南外，工作组还制定了定性荟萃分析和混合方法研究的标准。报告标准是为心理学定性研究制定的，但可能对广泛的社会科学有用。他们荣誉一系列定性的传统，方法和报告风格。该工作组由一组研究人员组成，他们具有不同的方法、研究主题和调查方法的背景。在这篇文章中，他们介绍了这些标准及其基本原理，并详细说明了这些标准与定量研究报告标准的不同之处。它们描述了作者在撰写提交的定性研究的过程中以及审稿人和编辑在审查研究的过程中如何使用这些标准。
The American Psychological Association Publications and Communications Board Working Group on Journal Article Reporting Standards for Qualitative Research (JARS-Qual Working Group) was charged with examining the state of journal article reporting standards as they applied to qualitative research and with generating recommendations for standards that would be appropriate for a wide range of methods within the discipline of psychology. These standards describe what should be included in a research report to enable and facilitate the review process. This publication marks a historical moment-the first inclusion of qualitative research in APA Style, which is the basis of both the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 2010) and APA Style CENTRAL, an online program to support APA Style. In addition to the general JARS-Qual guidelines, the Working Group has developed standards for both qualitative meta-analysis and mixed methods research. The reporting standards were developed for psychological qualitative research but may hold utility for a broad range of social sciences. They honor a range of qualitative traditions, methods, and reporting styles. The Working Group was composed of a group of researchers with backgrounds in varying methods, research topics, and approaches to inquiry. In this article, they present these standards and their rationale, and they detail the ways that the standards differ from the quantitative research reporting standards. They describe how the standards can be used by authors in the process of writing qualitative research for submission as well as by reviewers and editors in the process of reviewing research.
