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.
This paper offers an approach to defining rigor that is theory based and appro-priate for transdisciplinary research. Findings. Rigor definitions tend to fall into one of two categories: criteria-based and compliance-based. Which is appropriate depends on the research context.

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...

Jan 1, 2020 · Generating and refining a qualitative research question requires thorough, systematic, and iterative review of the literature, and the use of those results to establish a clear context and foundation for the question and study design.
Defining Rigor. We adopt a criteria-based definition of rigor, aligned with existing evidence, 1, 2, 3. that has three components. To conduct a rigorous research or evaluation study it must be credible. To do that, we must: Employ an appropriate design for our goals and questions.

Nov 8, 2016 · Insufficient rigor may be slowing the translation of basic discoveries into tangible benefits (6, 7). New initiatives aim to understand deficiencies in scientific rigor and to make research more rigorous (8 – 10). Here, we consider the meaning of rigorous science and how it can be achieved.
