Beschreibung
The virtualization under the COVID-19 pandemic strengthen the academic debate about standards in the virtual context for online researchers. Qualitative research in the online context is not a new phenomenon but is expected to increase since shutdowns limit traditional fieldwork of qualitative researchers. Hence, the aim of the present study is to identify whether new quality criteria should be developed or are transferable from the offline to the online context. The study is based on a systematic literature analysis of English and German academic publications found in the data bases Springer-Link, Ebsco, Science Direct, Emerald and Google Scholar between the years 2000 and 2020. Initial results confirm the assumption that the discussion about standards for online qualitative research is limited and slowly growing. Additionally, the demands for standards differ between the online and offline context which stresses the need for further development. Moreover, results indicate a broad discussion about standards for online focus-groups and different forms of virtual interviews. In contrast, concepts for methods as qualitative observation are poorly explored. The present study contributes to the academic debate on quality criteria in two ways: First, it provides an overview on different standards in the online and offline context. Second, this project highlights the possible transferability of offline criteria to the virtual context.| Zeitraum | 2021 |
