New sources identified: Cross-referenced raw/ directory (43 PDFs) against wiki/index.md (40 ingested sources). Three new files found.
nguyen-trung-nita-2026 — Nguyen-Trung & Nguyen (2026, Qualitative Research in Psychology). NITA: six-stage non-coding thematic analysis. PERFECT reflexive monitoring framework (7 components). “Dialogic thinking mode” proposed as new addition to Freeman’s taxonomy. Same Down East dataset as GAITA; 5/6 themes converge; one additional theme found by NITA (“Resisting change”). Custom GPT with RAG. Pragmatist/nonpositivist; for experienced researchers only.
friese-et-al-beyond-binary-2026 — Friese, Nguyen-Trung, Powell & Morgan (2026, Qualitative Inquiry). 100+ signatory counter-response to the Jowsey letter. Three-point rebuttal matching Jowsey’s three reasons. Four philosophical frameworks: assemblage theory (Deleuze & Guattari), distributed cognition (Hutchins), posthumanism (Barad), sociomateriality (Orlikowski). COI disclosed. Identifies internal tension in Jowsey coalition (Braun & Clarke’s flexibility claims vs. categorical rejection signature).
andrews-progress-or-perish-2026 — Andrews, Fainshmidt & Gaur (2026, Journal of World Business). IB/management editorial. “AI shaming” concept (Giray 2024). Market-based adoption argument. Co-evolutionary model. Dell’Acqua et al. (2023) and Filimonovic et al. (2025) as empirical anchors. Cross-disciplinary complement; from outside qualitative methods literature.
Standing pages updated: qualitative-ai-methods.md (NITA added to dialogic partner section; new cross-disciplinary controversies bullet), contested-claims.md (Claim 9 strengthened with Friese et al.; new Claim 10 on AI shaming/concealment), epistemology.md (source count updated 34→43; Friese et al. added to post-humanist section; NITA added to pragmatist section; emerging synthesis revised), human-ai-collaboration.md (NITA/PERFECT added as new framework section; AI shaming added to failure modes), validity-trustworthiness.md (PERFECT audit trail added under dependability).
Inbound links added: nguyen-trung-gaita-2025.md → NITA; jowsey-et-al-2025-we-reject.md → Friese et al. beyond binary and Greenhalgh (updated “forthcoming” reference).
home.md updated: Source count 40→43; SVG updated (NITA in frameworks, Friese et al. in rejection debate); rejection debate section revised with four responses; “All sources” section updated.
index.md updated: Batch 6 section added.
