A) REPRINT OF SELECTED CONTRIBUTIONS FROM FQS IN THE HSR SPECIAL ISSUE 30(1) "QUALITATIVE SOCIAL RESEARCH"

Historical Social Research / Historische Sozialforschung (HSR, http://hsr-trans.de/hsr-journal.htm) and FQS started to collaborate in 2001. The text "On the Compatibility between Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods" by Nigel Fielding & Margrit Schreier, originally published in FQS 2(1) (http://www.qualitative-research.net/fqs-texte/1-01/1-01hrsg-e.htm), was the first reprint, and many others followed. This partnership is especially worth mentioning as it also stands for the effort to close the gap between qualitative and quantitative methods, as FQS is explicitly dedicated to qualitative research, HSR is the Official Journal of QUANTUM (Association for Quantification and Methods in Historical and Social Research) and INTERQUANT (International Commission of the Application of Quantitative Methods in History).

HSR 30(1) contains selected reprints from 14 texts (German and English), originally published in FQS between 2000 and 2005.
