Towards Rigor in Reviews of Multivocal Literatures: Applying the Exploratory Case Study Method.
Ogawa, Rodney T.; Malen, Betty
Review of Educational Research, v61 n3 p265-86 Fall 1991
Multivocal literatures are comprised of all accessible writings on a common topic and embody the views of diverse authors. The exploratory case study method is proposed as a way to ensure rigor in reviews of such literatures because it addresses problems associated with the selective use of data. (SLD)
