I am starting a a qualitative study for which i have to conduct interview with about 50 participants. I am worry transcribing the data and i feel that it might be time consuming. is there any electronic solution for this, for example, a software that can convert speech into text? If yes has anybody tried it? Last question would be, is it free?

Is every qualitative study a case study? After all, it is almost always a matter of researching a small number of people around a specific topic? For example, an evaluation study of a leadership program in which people who took part in it are interviewed, or a study of the reception of queer children's literature among kindergarteners, would it be correct to claim that the type is a case study?

If so, then when is qualitative research not a case study?

I'm going to study farmers organizations (FOs), and the objective to build a typology of these organizations in regards to their farming practices in line with sustainable agriculture principles (very agro-ecological; more/less agro-ecological and less agro-ecological) in Burkina Faso. Then I will later have an depth study of one FO in each category.  Maybe this sounds like mixed-method (qualitative and quantitative approaches)?

Hi all, I am currently thinking about my study design, case control vs case report vs case study vs case series vs retrospective cohort - my research is in suicidality exploring the lived experience of the current participants (approx 30) as well as exploring those lost to suicide via psychological autopsy (approx 10 families) - I am really confused as to what approach fits with each group - any tips? thanks in advance

Hello

I need to know how to develop conceptual framework in a qualitative study? Is it the same process of developing conceptual framework in quantitative studies where we link variables through putting arrows? Can we develop conceptual framework in qualitative research before data collection/ fieldwork?

Regards 

Could you please recommend me some studies and books on this particular design.

I guess what I am asking is not only if this is possible, but also how would such a study be done? And what are it's advantages and disadvateges? How vulnerable is it to criticism?

Hi, just curious how many keynote slides do you typically use for a conference presentation? Does it matter if it is a qualitative or quantitative research, and is there a template one should follow? (by the way, i am not sure where to post this question). Cheers

When both qualitative and quantitative tools are used to collect the data but only the qualitative approach are adopted to analyze the data and describe the findings.

Is it a mixed study or qualitative study?
