I'm excited to share a Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Qualitative Research in Psychology on New developments and good practice in reflexive thematic analysis co-edited by me, @ginnybraun.bsky.social @eileenjoy.bsky.social and Lisa Trainor. Please contact any of us if you have any questions.
Special issue of Qualitative Research in Psychology
Edited by Virginia Braun, Victoria Clarke, Eileen Joy and Lisa Trainor
Call for papers
New developments and good practice in reflexive thematic analysis
The year 2026 is the 20th anniversary of the publication of the paper Using thematic analysis in psychology in Qualitative Research in Psychology. This paper has gone on to be the most cited qualitative methodological paper of all time according to an analysis by the journal Nature. Reflexive thematic analysis (TA) has transformed the practice of qualitative research in and beyond psychology. This Special Issue will mark this anniversary by exploring good practice and new developments in reflexive TA. We invite both full length papers and shorter commentaries and reflections from psychology and related disciplines. Potential topics include:
•	The use of reflexive TA to analyse visual and multimodal data
•	Is an N of one possible? The use reflexive TA in case study research
•	Beyond consensus and theme agreement: Strategies for using reflexive TA when there is more than one analyst
•	The use of reflexive TA in creative and arts-based research
•	The use of reflexive TA in Indigenous research
•	The use of reflexive TA in participatory designs (including participants as co-analysts)
•	Extensions of reflexive TA (e.g., frameworks and guidance for interpretative analysis)
•	Reviews of good (and poor) practice
•	Combining reflexive TA with other approaches (e.g., combining reflexive TA and narrative analysis; reflexive TA and discourse analysis)
•	“Behind the scenes”: Reflections on doing reflexive TA
•	Using reflexive TA in constructionist, critical realist or mixed methods research
•	Can reflexive TA be a feminist method? A queer method? A critical race theory method?
•	Doing deductive reflexive TA
•	Good practice in teaching and supervising reflexive TA
•	Methodological pluralism and reflexive TA
•	Power relations and the politics of interpretation in reflexive TA
Abstract submission deadline: 29 May 2026
Submit a maximum 500 word abstract to: Victoria.Clarke@uwe.ac.uk
Deadline for paper submissions: 30 November 2026
Please contact any of the editors to discuss potential submissions: V.Braun@auckland.ac.nz; Victoria.Clarke@uwe.ac.uk; Eileen.Joy@auckland.ac.nz; L.R.Trainor@swansea.ac.uk
Please note that we do not anticipate having a focus on the use of GenAI in reflexive TA as a Special Issue of QRIP on GenAI in qualitative research is currently in progress.

New blog post! Let's say you have two measures meant to capture the same confounder. They're highly correlated. Can you still proceed with your regression analysis? (I admit, the title is a bit of a spoiler) www.the100.ci/2025/10/13/i...

Excited to share my new preprint. My work focuses on solitude, but I am not one to advocate for a "solitude theory"; psych has too many theories so one less would be good. So, what I did the past 2 yrs is talking to people, reading work outside of my literature, essentially to shop for a framework 🧵
