Help with research design for a qualitative study

I am a first year faculty member in need to help structuring a research study, specifically the research design. In a separate quantitative study, I showed that mentorship yields positive outcomes for professionals in a particular field. As a follow up, I researched all professional organizations within this profession to examine available mentorship programming (which is lacking) and I now want to write a “call to action” article to hopefully be published in a journal. I suppose I did things a bit backwards, collecting data and now trying to structure the research design for an article. I have a good sense of what my introduction/literature review will say, as well as the discussion and implications. But I feel like my research design is weak, especially to get published in a good journal. ChatGPT is telling me this is a qual content analysis and environmental scan. Someone else suggested a scoping review. I don’t have enough qual research experience to know if either are the best approach. I need help identifying what type of qual research this is, structuring my research design section of an article, as well as talking through if there are any additional steps I need to take with my data before I start writing. My ideal collaborator: I would like someone with very strong qual research experience in the social sciences who is experienced in working with early faculty and/or doc students. What I'm looking for: I am looking for 1 virtual meeting (1 hour) to map out a plan. I will send an overview of my data and more information about my study in advance of the meeting. I would like for my collaborator to review this information before we meet, so we can make the most of our meeting time. Thanks! Apply tot his job Apply To this Job
