Explanation

The criteria include sensitivity to context, rigour of analysis and thorough description of the phenomenon studied.

Context sensitivity means findings are read against the social setting and prior literature that surround them.

Rigour of analysis demands systematic, careful handling of data so conclusions are well grounded.

Full, detailed description gives the reader enough of the case to judge the account and its transferability.

Liberal use of hypotheses belongs to quantitative testing, not to the quality standards of qualitative work.

Widely cited quality frameworks add credibility, transferability, dependability and confirmability.
