The limitations section of qualitative studies provides the reader important information to understand the results of the research (e.g., clearly defines the scope and limitations of the results and helps to contextualize the findings). Yet, attempts to standardize validity criteria in qualitative methods are confounded by the variety of qualitative approaches. Readers are often left with little insight beyond the basic limitations used in traditional quantitative studies, such as sample size. In the second webinar of the qualitative research webinar series, the webinar presenters will focus on writing the limitation section for qualitative research. The presenters will highlight lessons learned from a systematic review of the limitation sections of grounded theory studies. Then, to broaden the insights shared, frameworks for validity used in grounded theory traditions will be contrasted to attempts to develop universal qualitative criteria. The presenters will recommend key criteria to consider in other qualitative traditions, such as ethnography, case study, and narrative analysis.
