Extract

There are many key references in the articles in this themed section, including the review article. Rather than repeating those, here we give some web references and also some specific references to the topic of archiving and secondary analysis of qualitative data (with thanks to Rachel Thomson who provided these). This is not a topic that we have covered in any depth in this themed section but it is an important area for anyone thinking of adopting this methodology. We also provide some references on ethical issues.
