Elaborando critérios para a avaliação de artigos qualitativos: uma ferramenta para revisores

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMO

Objetivo:

Apresentar alguns critérios, muitos deles elaborados na forma de checklists de itens que devem ser considerados ao longo do processo de revisão. Além disso, é apresentado um estudo cujo objetivo principal foi elaborar (e validar) um instrumento de revisão para especialistas que fosse claro, abrangente, conciso e consistente com os mais altos padrões de excelência.

Método:

Foi utilizado um questionário para coletar dados (123 respostas). Para analisar as respostas abertas, foi utilizada a técnica de análise de conteúdo por meio do Qualitative Data Analysis Software.

Resultados:

Além da criação de novos critérios, com foco em dimensões metodológicas baseadas em 12 itens, a participação do comitê científico do Congresso Íbero-Americano de Pesquisa Qualitativa na validação do instrumento.

Conclusão:

essa opção, alinhada às outras descritas, permitirá implementar melhorias às edições dos eventos que utilizarem a Qualitative Research Evaluation Tool em 2018.

DESCRITORES:
Pesquisa Qualitativa: Lista De Checagem; Revisão Por Pares; Padrões De Referência; Desempenho Acadêmico

	Guiding Questions	General Guidelines
Research Questions and Objectives	1- Is there an inclusion of questions related to the themes of the Congress, namely the methodology of qualitative research?	What are the themes of the congress? Where does your article fit right? Is your article transversal to more than one theme? Which? Is there in the title, abstract or in the introduction a clear indication of the methodological problems, techniques and tools used in qualitative research?
	2 - Are the research questions clearly stated?	Are research questions highlighted and clear? Is there a hierarchical system of research questions and / or sub-questions?
	3 - Is the theoretical basis updated and articulated with the theme or objectives of the study?	How many international authors are cited as the basis of work? Are “classic” publications cited in articulate fashion with other publications (e.g., last 5 years)?
Methodology	4 - Is the methodological option coherent with the problem and the research questions?	Are all the research questions listed included in the methodological design? Is it easy to see its coherence? Is there a table or figure that explains their relation?
	5 - Is the data collection clearly described (i.e., information on availability or origin of data)?	What data served as the basis for building responses to research questions? Are there justifications for the ethical processes (authorizations and informed consent of the subjects involved)?
	6 - Are the methods and techniques of data analysis adequate for the study?	What methods are used? Are the analysis techniques presented? Are they clearly described? Are elements of an analysis system presented, such as dimensions, categories and subcategories? Are they consistent with research issues?
	7 - Is the coding process explained (i.e., number of researchers involved, dimensions, categories of analysis)?	What is the process and number of researchers involved in coding? Is how the coding was validated explained? Is there a concern to show how rigorous and systematic this process was?
Results and Conclusions	8 - Do the quantity and quality of the presented data have the potential for a relevant qualitative analysis?	Do the authors indicate that the quantity and quality of the data are consistent and sufficient to answer the research questions? Is there a diversity of sources and data features?
	9 - Is the discussion of the results based on the theoretical basis and the research questions presented?	Is the power of argumentation evident in the discussion of results? Are they articulated with the theoretical rationale and the objectives and research questions of the work?
	10 - In the conclusions are there summaries of the arguments supporting the results?	Is there a summary of the results in the conclusions? Are these conclusions related to research questions? Is there a triangulation of conclusions with the literature? Are the limitations of these findings presented?
	11 - Do the findings offer any contribution to the qualitative methodologies?	What is the relevance of qualitative research in the conclusions? Is it possible to identify any conclusions directly or indirectly linked to the qualitative methodology?
	12 - Do you agree with the contributions (implications, impact) for the development of the qualitative research mentioned by the authors?	Is it possible to identify the implications of the process, results and conclusions of the work? Is the impact or possible impacts of work on different spheres of influence (training, research, society, etc.) pointed out?
