Abstract

This review was dedicated to discuss the core measures established evaluating the quality of Grounded Theory (GT) that have been highlighted by the main authors of GT with special reference to Straussian GT. Sraussian GT includes the work of Strauss and Corbin (1990 &1998); Corbin and Strauss (2008); and Charmaz (2006). Glaser alone develops the Glasarian GT approach. First, I explained the concept of evaluation of a research in relation to its quality discussing some rigorous methods of establishing quality in qualitative research. Second and finally, the specific canons and procedures established specially in the Straussian GT methodology in establishing quality were discussed. Here, the related content in the ground breaking research of Glaser and Strauss in 1967 has been first referred following the Glaser’s (1998) views in this regard before discussing the Straussian perspective on quality in GT research.

Highlights

  • The acceptance of a research output purely depends on the quality maintained in the research process applying the standard protocol as suggested in particular research approach, research paradigm, research strategy and research method

  • This review explained quality criteria: generally used in qualitative research Grounded theory presented in 1967; Glaser’s Grounded Theory (GT) research presented in 1990; Straussian GT research presented by Corbin and Strauss in 1990, Charmaz’s GT presented in 2006, and Corbin and Strauss’s GT in 2008

  • Further the study highlighted the evaluation of quality in qualitative research is still not sorted out, and is differently viewed by different scholars

Summary

Introduction

The acceptance of a research output purely depends on the quality maintained in the research process applying the standard protocol as suggested in particular research approach, research paradigm, research strategy and research method. A demarcation of a researcher’s work from the work of general media worker or social worker or laymen’s investigation or criminal investigator or an artist is based on the expected quality maintained with accepted rigor in the research process. In assessing the quality of qualitative research has been a challenge unlike in quantitative research. This is mainly due to the agility and flexibility given https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4617-1409. The purpose of this paper is to construct a conceptual framework that guide to establish quality in qualitative research process, developed based on primary literature review
