VOLUME 05 ISSUE 02 (2016) - Special Edition "Qualitative Research, Social and Environmental Science"

The Special Issue of Fronteiras: Journal of Social, Technological and Environmental Science, has consolidated its partnership with the Congresso Ibero-Americano em Investigação Qualitativa (CIAIQ) and now with the International Symposium on Qualitative Research (ISQR). Since 2014 we publish issues from the best selected works that are linked to the topics in “Social, Technological and Environmental Science”. Based on the careful evaluation of the editorial staff and the scientific committee of these important events, we have provided the scientific dissemination of relevant works that deal with qualitative methodologies. In addition to Fronteiras, other important journals, from Brazil and other countries, had participated in this partnership, which places us linked to a worldwide network of dissemination of qualitative research in different approaches and methodological procedures.

The edition of the 5th CIAIQ and 1st ISQR events took place between July 12 and 14, 2016 in the city of Porto, Portugal, involving Iberoamerican universities and European institutions involved in qualitative research. A significant number of papers were presented and selected by a distinguished scientific committee. Among these works, the best ones were selected by the scientific and organizing committee and indicated to the partner journals to identify those that fit the profile and mission of the journals.

Thus, the special edition presents nine (09) articles related to the events of the CIAIQ / ISQR2016 and another four (04) articles submitted to Fronteiras Journal, which after being evaluated were accepted and chosen to compose this volume, all of them considering the theme related to Quality Research in Social and Environmental Science.
