(2000), "Comprehensive criteria to judge validity and reliability of qualitative research within the realism paradigm", Qualitative Market Research, Vol. In conclusion, this paper’s set of six criteria will facilitate the further adoption of the realism paradigm and its evaluation in marketing research about, for instance, networks and relationship marketing. An example of the use of the criteria is given. Comparisons are made with criteria in other paradigms, particularly positivism and constructivism. The present study aimed to elaborate on the significance of validity and reliability indices in medical research and the qualitative and quantitative assessment. The final three criteria concern methodology: methodological trustworthiness, analytic generalisation and construct validity. The third criterion concerns epistemology: multiple perceptions of participants and of peer researchers. The first two criteria concern ontology, that is, ontological appropriateness and contingent validity. ![]() ![]() Six comprehensive and explicit criteria for judging realism research are developed, drawing on the three elements of a scientific paradigm of ontology, epistemology and methodology. This article explores the extant issues related to the science and art of qualitative research and proposes a synthesis of contemporary viewpoints. Aims to address a gap in the literature about quality criteria for validity and reliability in qualitative research within the realism scientific paradigm. Developing validity standards in qualitative research is challenging because of the necessity to incorporate rigor and subjectivity as well as creativity into the scientific process.
