Engaging in qualitative research methods requires an inherently unique set of quality considerations compared to scientific, quantitative approaches. Rather than scientific notions of reliability, consistency, generalizability and objectivity, qualitative work should be assessed on the worthiness of its topic, rich rigor in data collection and analysis, sincerity on the part of the researcher, credibility of the resulting claims, the significance of its contribution to existing literature, the resonance of its findings, and its ethical execution. These markers of quality can be achieved through a variety of practices depending on a paradigmatic approach.
