Rigour, reliability and validity in qualitative research
Abstract. This article addresses issues relating to rigour within qualitative research, beginning with the need for rigour at all in such studies. The concept of reliability is then analysed, establishing the traditional understanding of the term, and evaluating alternative terms. A similar exploration of validity and proposed alternatives follows.
A Review of the Quality Indicators of Rigor in Qualitative Research
The goal of rigor in qualitative research can be described as ensuring that the research design, method, and conclusions are explicit, public, replicable, ... Leung L. Validity, reliability, and generalizability in qualitative research. J Fam Med Prim Care. 2015; 4 (3):324.
Rigor or Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research: Perspectives
Issues are still raised even now in the 21st century by the persistent concern with achieving rigor in qualitative research. There is also a continuing debate about the analogous terms reliability and validity in naturalistic inquiries as opposed to quantitative investigations. This article presents …
Rigor or Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research
RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY IN QUALITATIVE RESEARCH. Reliability and validity should be taken into consideration by qualitative inquirers while designing a study, analyzing results, and judging the quality of the study, 30 but for too long, the criteria used for evaluating rigor are applied after a research is completed—a considerably wrong ...

Issues of validity and reliability in qualitative research
In a previous article we explored 'bias' across research designs and outlined strategies to minimise bias.1 The aim of this article is to further outline rigour, or the integrity in which a study is conducted, and ensure the credibility of findings in relation to qualitative research. Concepts such as reliability, validity and ...
Criteria for Good Qualitative Research: A Comprehensive Review
This review aims to synthesize a published set of evaluative criteria for good qualitative research. The aim is to shed light on existing standards for assessing the rigor of qualitative research encompassing a range of epistemological and ontological standpoints. Using a systematic search strategy, published journal articles that deliberate criteria for rigorous research were identified. Then ...
Rigor, Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research: Perspectives
To determine the reliability and validity of a qualitative research study, Connelly (2016) developed four criteria for assessing its data, interpretation and methods and identified the four ...
Rigour, reliability and validity in qualitative research
TLDR. Rigour, or the integrity in which a study is conducted, is outlined and concepts such as reliability, validity and generalisability typically associated with quantitative research and alternative terminology will be compared in relation to their application to qualitative research.

Ensuring Rigor in Qualitative Data Analysis: A Design Research Approach
It is important to clarify that the requirements for demonstrating rigor in design research and in grounded theory qualitative analysis vary from those required in quantitative studies. The requirements of reliability, replication, and validity generally associated with demonstrating rigor in quantitative studies are less applicable to ...
Validity, reliability, and generalizability in qualitative research
Hence, the essence of reliability for qualitative research lies with consistency.[24,28] A margin of variability for results is tolerated in qualitative research provided the methodology and epistemological logistics consistently yield data that are ontologically similar but may differ in richness and ambience within similar dimensions.
Critical Analysis of Strategies for Determining Rigor in Qualitative
Abstract. Criteria for determining the trustworthiness of qualitative research were introduced by Guba and Lincoln in the 1980s when they replaced terminology for achieving rigor, reliability, validity, and generalizability with dependability, credibility, and transferability. Strategies for achieving trustworthiness were also introduced.
(PDF) Validity and Reliability in Qualitative Research
Validity and reliability or trustworthiness are fundamental issues in scientific research whether. it is qualitative, quantitative, or mixed research. It is a necessity for researchers to describe ...
Verification Strategies for Establishing Reliability and Validity in
Without rigor, research is worthless, becomes fiction, and loses its utility. Hence, a great deal of attention is applied to reliability and validity in all research methods. Challenges to rigor in qualitative inquiry interestingly paralleled the blossoming of statistical packages and the development of computing systems in quantitative research.
The pillars of trustworthiness in qualitative research
Establishing reliability in qualitative research is crucial for influencing future research paths. Researchers can utilize reliable discoveries as a basis for information, which can then inform the development of hypotheses and the planning of future investigations. ...

Qualitative Research: Rigour and qualitative research
Various strategies are available within qualitative research to protect against bias and enhance the reliability of findings. This paper gives examples of the principal approaches and summarises them into a methodological checklist to help readers of reports of qualitative projects to assess the quality of the research. In the health field--with its strong tradition of biomedical research ...
Qualitative rigor or research validity in qualitative research
The focus of this article is to address the unique attributes of qualitative research relative to qualitative rigor, which is similar to reliability and validity used in quantitative research. The term qualitative rigor itself is an oxymoron, considering that qualitative research is a journey of explanation and discovery that does not lend to stiff boundaries. Qualitative research is not ...

After a quarter of a century of debate in nursing about how best to judge the quality of qualitative research, we appear to be no closer to a consensus, or even to deciding whether it ...
Reflexivity in research: Promoting rigour, reliability and validity in
Background The value of qualitative research is increasingly acknowledged in health studies, as well as the demand for employing rigorous strategies. Although the literature recognises that reflexivity is a valuable and rigorous strategy, few studies unravel the practical employment of reflexivity as a strategy for ensuring rigour and quality in qualitative research. Aim To present a practical ...
Validity and Reliability in Qualitative Research
Reliability and validity are equally important to consider in qualitative research. Ways to enhance validity in qualitative research include: Use multiple analysts. Create/maintain audit trails. Conduct member checks. Include positionality statements. Solicit peer review of analytical approach. Triangulate findings via multiple data sources.
