I implemented a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews (n=42) and submitted a manuscript to the scientific journal (international journal, Scopus database). I received review evaluations for my manuscript, where they asking me to accommodate all qualitative findings with frequency. I read different methodological references on this questions (thanks to RG as well). In my case, a quantification of findings would be subjective and could lead to misleading generalization of conclusions. I would greatly appreciate your opinion, how to respond to such kind of review and explain your standpoints without jeopardizing the paper from publication. Thank you very much.
