Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Crystallization in qualitative research refers to the process of combining multiple forms and facets of analysis, presentation, and representation of data. It allows for a more complex, in-depth understanding of the research topic by acknowledging and incorporating various perspectives, methods, and data sources, rather than adhering to a single methodological approach. This approach contrasts with traditional, more linear methods of reporting qualitative research, which might rely on a singular narrative or analytical perspective.
