The global corona pandemic is currently prompting many researchers to transform their research projects into online concepts. For qualitative social research, finding ways of collecting and analyzing data that do not compromise the quality of the results, is especially challenging due to the limited possibilities (e.g. missing personal contact). This research therefore explores the extent to which quality criteria of qualitative social research are already being discussed in the context of online research. To address this topic we conducted a systematic literature review of academic journal articles dealing with the quality standards of qualitative social research and qualitative online research in the period 2000 up to now. First results show that quality criteria applied to qualitative research in the online context is only marginally addressed, which may mean that (1) there is no special need to develop new specific quality criteria for the online context, (2) as with the "general quality criteria", there actually isn’t and won’t be a consensus within the scientific community, or (3) that this is (still) a blind spot in quality assurance. Thus, this literature review aims at providing an overview of the status quo of quality criteria for online qualitative research. Consequently, in times of pandemia this should be an impulse for reserachers to further consider the quality criteria of qualitative social research with specific inclusion of the online context.| Zeitraum | 7 Okt. 2021 |
