Validity and reliability in qualitative research

Abstract: Validity and reliability are key aspects of all research. Meticulous attention to these two aspects can make the difference between good research and poor research and can help to assure that fellow scientists accept findings as credible and trustworthy. This is particularly vital in qualitative work, where the researcher’s subjectivity can so readily cloud the interpretation of the data, and where research findings are often questioned or viewed with scepticism by the scientific community.

“…El proceso de codificación se realizó tomando como patrón el análisis temático según lo explicaron Braun y Clark (2006) y lo aplicó Richardson (2011). La participación de dos codificadores en este proceso, puestos de acuerdo en aplicar de modo independiente pero consistente unas mismas reglas de codificación, asegura una mayor fiabilidad del análisis (Brink 1987; Harris, Pryor y Adams 1997; Hruschka et al 2004). …”
