PresentationThe 4th World Conference on Qualitative Research will take place in Porto (Portugal), 16th to 18th October 2019. We believe WCQR will continue its growth in the number and quality of submissions, confirming itself as one of the main worldwide events on qualitative research. The main objective is for WCQR to maintain the indicators of success with each new edition, encouraging the submission of scientific works that focus on several fields of application in Qualitative Research, from Education to Health, Social Sciences, Engineering and Technology, among others, as well as a crosswise and holistic view, with the approach of several themes and dimensions of research.TopicsRationale and Paradigms of Qualitative ResearchSystematization of Approaches with Qualitative StudiesQualitative and Mixed Methods ResearchData Analysis TypesInnovative Processes of Qualitative Data AnalysisQualitative Research in Web ContextQualitative Analysis with Support of Specific SoftwareApplication fieldsQualitative Research in Health (emphasis on the processes of research in the fields of Medicine, Nursing, Geriatrics, Gerontology, Psychology, etc.)Qualitative Research in Education (emphasis on the processes of research in various areas of Higher Education, Basic Education, Assessment, Curriculum, Teaching, Teaching Science, Languages, History, Technology, etc.)Qualitative Research in Social Science (emphasis on the processes of research in the fields of Communication, Linguistics, Sociology, Anthropology, Organizational and Work Psychology, Business Administration, Marketing, Management and Economics, Political Science, etc.)Qualitative Research in Engineering and Technology (emphasis on the research processes in the areas of Computer Science, Information Systems, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering and Engineering Education)Important datesSubmission of Abstracts: June 16, 2019Notification of acceptance &#8211; Abstracts: July 7, 2019Registration: July 28, 2019WCQR2019: 16th to 18th October, 2019For guidelines and templates:&#160;https://wcqr.info/guidelines-templates/Advisory CommitteeAnt&#243;nio Moreira, Aveiro University &#8211; PortugalChristina Silver, University of Surrey &#8211; United KingdomCristina Rosa Soares Lavareda Baixinho, Lisbon School of Nursing &#8211; PortugalEmiko Yoshikawa Egry, S&#227;o Paulo University &#8211; BrazilHeewon Chang, Eastern University &#8211; USARosalind Edwards &#8211; University of Southampton &#8211; United KingdomWCQR CoordinatorAnt&#243;nio Pedro Costa, Universidade de Aveiro &#8211; PortugalLocal Organizing Commitee (updating)Elisabete Pinto da Costa, Lus&#243;fona University of Porto &#8211; Portugal (chair)Organizing Committee (updating)Concei&#231;&#227;o Ferreira, Ludomedia &#8211; PortugalS&#243;nia Mendes, Ludomedia &#8211; Portugal
