| Abstract: | The article describes the new qualitative methodology the Applied Hermeneutic Methodology developed for use in CIRAS (Confidential Incident Reporting and Analysis System), the confidential database set up for the UK railways. AHM crosses the qualitative-quantitative divide and it is suggested that this methodology is more rigorous and philosophically coherent than existing methodologies and that it has implications for all areas of the social sciences where qualitative texts are analysed. |
