Abstract

Numerous studies have been published on the rigor of qualitative research, presenting both shared and differing concepts, definitions, and approaches. In this editorial on rigor in qualitative research, the author aims to clarify these concepts by drawing on literature, mainly from Guba (1981) and Lincoln & Guba (1985), as well as his own research experiences, providing examples to illustrate key points.
