The above-asked questions capture concerns with validity, reliability, objectivity, and generalizability while broadening and deepening them (Marshall and Rossman, 2006). These doubts may be minimized through the aspect of trustworthiness. ![]() Often researchers question the credibility of collected data and whether enough evidence is gathered to support the claims, or even determine if the accumulated results should be published. ![]() Due to the nature of qualitative research, many doubts occur during and after the research process. Furthermore, unlike the analysis of quantitative approach, there is not a clear method to develop the data collected (Bryman, 2012). Extracting and analysing qualitative data is not a straightforward process due to the nature of the method. Criticisms of the lack of objectivity and generalizability are often associated with the qualitative method (Phillimore and Goodson, 2004).
