Hello I am conducting a small-scale qualitative research however, I would like to know what is a minimum-maximum amount of time that is substantial enough for member-checking after a research project please? Would one - two months be long enough?
Thank you in advance.
That varies by what you need clarity on, and how many participants you need clarity from.
I assume you are asking much time should have passed after the original interviews. If so, I can't see any problems with recontacting people 2 months later.
Hello and thank you for your suggestions and advice. David L Morgan - after two months, can a researcher contact the participants up to two months after or is it best to wait two months for that clarification before asking for clarification? Thank you
La Verne A Davis if for example I have 12 participants, I do not wish to irritate or bombard the participants and Uchendu Eugene Chigbu thank you very much for the suggested article.
Janine you only have to worry about the ones that you need clarity on.
If you explained in the beginning that you would be re-contacting the participants, then I don't think a two month interval amounts to "bombarding" them.
Oh okay thank you very much for all your help, I think I have a better idea now.
