Abstract
Analysis of publication patterns in stuttering research showed that over 90% of articles published in three major journals between 1994 and 2003 could be described as representing a quantitative, as opposed to qualitative, tradition. Many other authors have already discussed two possible implications of this imbalance: that quantitative research is overrepresented, and that qualitative research needs to be more frequently used in stuttering. This article was constructed, therefore, to address three other possible implications of publication patterns in stuttering research: under-reporting of qualitative methodologies; under-adoption of new knowledge; and under-use of creative, interdisciplinary quantitative methodologies.
