A typical example is a researcher wishing to evaluate services at a homeless shelter for women and families and who interviews a number of residents, staff, and other stakeholders. The researcher then possesses a wealth of information with which he or she could write a social history of the shelter. Even so, without a defensible rationale for sample selection, application of a particular qualitative research methodology, coding of responses beyond content of the conversation, interpretation of results in relation to previous findings, reciprocal connection to theory, and validity, trustworthiness, and credibility checks this is not a rigorous piece of dissertation research.
