Dear All,

Today I would like to inform you about texts, published in FQS in December and available online. They are dealing with the use of "Documents in Social Research," "Analyzing Recorded Interviews: Making Sense of Oral History," "Public and Private Narratives," "Writing Hypertext," "Making Decisions About Taking Medicines," and "Research on Right-wing Extremism."

Additionally, you will find short information from the Graduate School of Social Sciences, University of Bremen, from the ESA Research Network "Qualitative Methods," and some Open Access news.

On behalf of the Editorial Staff I would like to thank you for your interest and support during the four year, working on FQS, and to wish you a season of health, peace, and prosperity!
