Quality assessment

Is there congruity between the stated philosophical perspective and the research methodology? Is there congruity between the research methodology and the research question or objectives? Is there congruity between the research methodology and the methods used to collect the data? Is there congruity between the research methodology and the representation and analysis of the data? Is there congruity between the research methodology and the interpretation of the results? Is there a statement locating the researcher culturally or theoretically? Is the influence of the researcher on the research, and vice-versa, addressed? Are the participants, and their voices, adequately represented? Is the research conducted according to
current criteria or, for recent studies, and is there evidence of ethical approval by an appropriate body?
Do the conclusions drawn in the research report flow from the analysis, or interpretation, of the data? Score (%) High/Medium /Low quality
