Essay about scientific rigor in qualitative research
Abstract
With this essay we want to highlight the difficulty of formulating hypotheses in researches with qualitative methodology. We have detected in some of the researches presented by doctoral students who choose to apply the qualitative methodology that, in many occasions, these studies present a lack of scientific rigor. This fact has led us to reflect on their causes and make a proposal of key considerations that will allow beginner researchers to provide their investigations with more scientific rigor.Downloads
