One of the main challenges for qualitative researchers, however, is that data analysis occurs alongside data collection; for this reason, researchers need to be involved in all phases of the research work to reflect on and guide the work of hired staff so that data collection and analysis are implemented appropriately. Even where data collection and analysis are designed to be ...
