This study addresses the science versus art debate in qualitative analysis. It proposes a decision-making trail to enhance rigor and trustworthiness in qualitative research.

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Research Methodology

Background:

  • Qualitative analysis faces criticism for lacking clear, standardized processes, leading to perceptions of it being unscientific.
  • This perception persists despite advancements in systematic qualitative analysis and computer-assisted tools.
  • Some within the art domain resist formal methods, viewing qualitative analysis as more art than science.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To contribute to resolving the tension surrounding qualitative analysis methods.
  • To promote and illustrate the use of a decision-making trail in qualitative research.
  • To support academic rigor and enhance the trustworthiness of qualitative findings.

Main Methods:

  • The paper advocates for a "decision making trail" as a methodological contribution.

  • This approach aims to make the analysis process transparent and auditable.
  • It draws upon established principles of academic rigor in qualitative research.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed decision-making trail enhances transparency in qualitative analysis.
    • It allows the research community to evaluate the analysis process and research trustworthiness.
    • This method supports the credibility of the presented interpretations.

    Conclusions:

    • Implementing a decision-making trail strengthens qualitative research rigor.
    • Transparency in the analysis process is key to establishing trustworthiness.
    • This approach helps bridge the gap between qualitative analysis as art and science.
