Resumo

Qualitative manuscripts occupy a multidimensional world and can vary by their 'latitude' (where they are with respect to the humanities and sciences), 'longitude' (where they are with respect to the length and number of data excerpts), and 'altitude' (where they are with respect to the level of theorizing). In this article, I discuss these 3 dimensions as they relate to the field of family studies, delineate the options available to authors as they carry out their analyses and present their findings, and outline the criteria reviewers frequently use when they evaluate qualitative work. It is hoped that, with a map of the writing and reviewing process, authors will be better equipped to chart the coordinates of their qualitative manuscripts and reviewers will be better able to provide the kinds of recommendations that authors can profitably utilize.
