How do you ensure the quality of qualitative research analysis?

Quality assurance in qualitative research analysis primarily involves ensuring the credibility, dependability, transferability, and confirmability of the results. Researchers adopt several measures to guarantee these aspects, like using multiple researchers to perform the analysis, using software to help identify themes consistently, and maintaining an audit trail. Data triangulation can help increase the validity of the findings. Peer reviews and feedback from stakeholders can also add to the quality of the analysis. Additionally, researchers also have to continuously reflect on their assumptions and biases to ensure that their analysis remains transparent and accurate throughout the research process.
