Justifying qualitative research
Justifying Qualitative Research. A still common rhetorical device used to present what is generally referred to as qualitativeresearch to audiences unfamiliar with it is to compare it to what is generally referred to as quantitative research (Eakin & Mykhalovskiy, 2005). In such comparisons, qualitative research tends to be presented as what it ...

The difficulty continues in establishing the justification for selecting qualitative research approaches, sample strategy, sample size, data collection methods (i.e. interview methods), saturation ...
Planning Qualitative Research: Design and Decision Making for New
While many books and articles guide various qualitative research methods and analyses, there is currently no concise resource that explains and differentiates among the most common qualitative approaches. We believe novice qualitative researchers, students planning the design of a qualitative study or taking an introductory qualitative research course, and faculty teaching such courses can ...
Qualitative research methods: when to use them and how to judge them
Qualitative research is gaining increased momentum in the clinical setting and carries different criteria for evaluating its rigour or quality. Quantitative studies generally involve the systematic collection of data about a phenomenon, using standardized measures and statistical analysis. ... explanation and justification of the methodology ...
Big enough? Sampling in qualitative inquiry
Any senior researcher, or seasoned mentor, has a practiced response to the 'how many' question. Mine tends to start with a reminder about the different philosophical assumptions undergirding qualitative and quantitative research projects (Staller, 2013).As Abrams (2010) points out, this difference leads to "major differences in sampling goals and strategies."(p.537).
A Review of the Quality Indicators of Rigor in Qualitative Research
Qualitative research is focused on making sense of lived, observed phenomenon in a specific context with specifically selected individuals, rather than attempting to generalize from sample to population. ... and the justification for the observational strategy selected should be made clear. 34 Regardless of the researcher's degree of ...

Qualitative Study
Qualitative research is a type of research that explores and provides deeper insights into real-world problems.[1] Instead of collecting numerical data points or intervene or introduce treatments just like in quantitative research, qualitative research helps generate hypotheses as well as further investigate and understand quantitative data. Qualitative research gathers participants ...

Smith 4 has described methodology as the "explanation of the approach, methods and procedures with some justification for their selection."

This includes the disclosure of the (theoretical) preliminary understanding, the description and justification of the methodological approach and individual steps of data collection and analysis.

Full article: Methodology or method? A critical review of qualitative
Qualitative research is "inherently multimethod" (Citation Denzin & Lincoln, 2011a, p. 5); however, with this creative freedom, it is important for researchers to provide adequate description for methodological justification (Meyer, Citation 2001). This includes paradigm and theoretical perspectives that have influenced study design.
In this article, the authors clarify a framework for qualitative research, in particular for evaluating its quality, founded on epistemology, methodology, and method. They define these elements and discuss their respective contributions and interrelationships. Epistemology determines and is made visible through method, particularly in the ...
What Is Qualitative Research?
Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. It can be used to gather in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas for research. Qualitative research is the opposite of quantitative research, which involves collecting and ...

Issues of validity and reliability in qualitative research
Qualitative research is frequently criticised for lacking scientific rigour with poor justification of the methods adopted, lack of transparency in the analytical procedures and the findings being merely a collection of personal opinions subject to researcher bias.2, 3 For the novice researcher, demonstrating rigour when undertaking qualitative ...
Sample sizes for saturation in qualitative research: A systematic
These research objectives are typical of much qualitative heath research. The sample size of the datasets used varied from 14 to 132 interviews and 1 to 40 focus groups. All datasets except one ( Francis et al., 2010 ) had a sample that was much larger than the sample ultimately needed for saturation, making them effective for assessing saturation.
Characterising and justifying sample size sufficiency in interview
Background Choosing a suitable sample size in qualitative research is an area of conceptual debate and practical uncertainty. That sample size principles, guidelines and tools have been developed to enable researchers to set, and justify the acceptability of, their sample size is an indication that the issue constitutes an important marker of the quality of qualitative research. Nevertheless ...
What is the justification of a research?
Answer: Research is conducted to add something new, either knowledge or solutions, to a field. Therefore, when undertaking new research, it is important to know and state why the research is being conducted, in other words, justify the research. The justification of a research is also known as the rationale.
Sample Size Justification
A good sample size justification in qualitative research is based on 1) an identification of the populations, including any sub-populations, 2) an estimate of the number of codes in the (sub-)population, 3) the probability a code is encountered in an information source, and 4) the sampling strategy that is used.

Sample size for qualitative research
Marshall and colleagues refer to a sample size of 20 as being small for a grounded theory-type approach to qualitative research and to 40 being a large sample size for the same type of study. This gives a range of what sample size they would consider appropriate, and later in the same paper, they recommend a range of 20-30 interviews for ...
