在本文中，定性纵向（QL）研究被视为一种强大的流体调查形式。它的现实世界和实时功能的结合，使这种方法能够“遵循现实的所有绕组”，从而产生有用的知识，为政策和专业实践。主要的重点是QL方法的力量，通过梳理出它们的多重，流动和关系元素来阐明复杂的因果过程。文章继续考虑新的方式来中介研究工作和政策过程之间的接口，基于知识的合作生产，实时展开的协作模式。QL查询在这里出现的不仅仅是一个额外的选择，一个“利基”的方法。它有潜力成为一种有价值的“影响”工具，以新的方式识别因果关系，并重新制定对“什么有效”的见解。“，在塑造和促进政策和实践环境的变化方面发挥关键作用。
In this article, qualitative longitudinal (QL) research is presented as a powerful form of fluid enquiry. The combination of its real-world and real-time features enables this methodology to 'follow reality in all its windings', and, thereby, to produce useful knowledge for policy and professional practice. The main focus is on the power of QL methodology to illuminate complex causal processes by teasing out their multiple, fluid and relational elements. The article goes on to consider new ways to broker the interface between research endeavours and policy processes, based on collaborative modes of knowledge co-production that unfold in real-time. QL enquiry emerges here as more than an added option, a 'niche' approach. It has potential as a valuable 'impact' tool for discerning causality in new ways and reformulating insights into 'what works?', with scope to play a pivotal role in shaping and facilitating change in policy and practice settings.
