"This book is a step-by-step guide to conducting qualitative meta-analysis (QMA), a flexible and generic method that synthesizes the findings of several research studies investigating similar phenomena. Given the ever-increasing number of qualitative studies in the social sciences, QMA answers the need for rigorous secondary analysis that offers a more conclusive picture of a field of inquiry.
