Good information, but I want to suggest that it IS important to know which type of qualitative method one is conducting. Further, including among your keywords when submitting research for publication, both "qualitative" and the type (narrative, phenomenology, case study, ethnography or grounded theory) is extremely helpful for those looking for qualitative articles on whatever subject. I would suggest that if one cannot figure out what type of study is most appropriate for their question, to talk to someone more knowledgeable about qualitative methods, or spend 30 minutes with Creswell's (now Creswell & Poth) "Qualitative Inquiry & Research Design: Choosing among five approaches." While flexibility is one of the strengths of qualitative methods, I think it is irresponsible to advocate that "it doesn't matter...don't put yourself in a box..." because we achieve/maintain a greater degree of credibility and meaningful studies, if we agree to some standards. But then, I also teach research methods, and watch students struggle with qualitative studies that follow no structure at all. Knowing what format a researcher attempted to follow, informs the reader right away, some basic things to expect. For example, if I find a case study, I know to expect the source data to include an untold number of different kinds of sources. If it's a narrative, I know to expect something like a biography. Please, please do not advocate "not caring about what form" of qualitative study one conducts, as we WANT to know what form before spending the time reading the study.
