Revisiting Bias in Qualitative Research: Reflections on Its Relationship With Funding and Impact
TLDR
In this paper, the authors outline the reasons for their concern and reflect on whether the growing tendency of qualitative researchers trying to manage bias in their work is due to the increasing pressure to demonstrate research outputs lead to quantifiable impact.Abstract:
Recognizing and understanding research bias is crucial for determining the utility of study results and an essential aspect of evidence-based decision-making in the health professions. Research proposals and manuscripts that do not provide satisfactory detail on the mechanisms employed to minimize bias are unlikely to be viewed favorably. But what are the rules for qualitative research studies? Whenever I am reviewing a thesis, manuscript, or research proposal involving qualitative research and I come across attempts to manage “bias,” it always gives me cause for concern. Here, I outline the reasons for my concern and reflect on whether the growing tendency of qualitative researchers trying to manage “bias” in their work is due to the increasing pressure to demonstrate research outputs lead to quantifiable impact.read more

Verification Strategies for Establishing Reliability and Validity in Qualitative Research
TL;DR: The authors argue that qualitative researchers should reclaim responsibility for reliability and validity by implementing verification strategies integral and self-correcting during the conduct of inquiry itself, which ensures the attainment of rigor using strategies inherent within each qualitative design, and moves the responsibility for incorporating and maintaining reliability and validation from external reviewers' judgements to the investigators themselves.
