Addressing rigour in your research proposal could mean including specific details or steps you as a researcher are taking to ensure and evaluate the quality, trustworthiness, and value of your research for your readers.
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, … Expand

Scholars have long debated how rigor can be achieved in qualitative analysis. To answer this question, we need to better understand how theory is generated from data. Qualitative analysis is, at its core, a categorization process. Nevertheless, despite a surge of interest in categorization within the social sciences, insights from categorization th...
In the following pages, we integrate insights from categorization theory with insights from the recommendations provided by at times neglected qualitative scholarship to spotlight eight main moves in which qualitative researchers engage when sifting through data and developing theory. We detail how these eight moves can generate multiple pathways t...
In the final analytical stage, the researcher aims to create a theoretical scaffold to explain the studied phenomena by re-analyzing existing categories and integrating identified mechanisms and concepts. This stabilizing stage often allows researchers to provide answers to or explanations for their initial questions or puzzles. One of the critical...
The most important, yet mysterious, aspect of qualitative data analysis is rigorous theory generation. In this paper, we integrate insights from categorization theory with often neglected methodological strategies to develop a framework for how scholars can achieve and demonstrate rigor in qualitative analysis. By being reflexive about their active...
Overall, this article posits that qualitative analysis is fundamentally a categorization process. By drawing on categorization theory, we spotlight the range of diverse ways in which categories are actively formed. To obtain rigor in qualitative analysis, we need to be transparent about these active moves because otherwise readers cannot assess the...

Dec 1, 1997 · Abstract. The issues of reliability and validity in qualitative research are not as readily codified as has been the case for quantitative research. However, a variety of methods do exist and are reviewed here.
