Challenges and Issues in Qualitative Data

1) Large Quantity of data → Superficial Analysis

Too many details confuse people to know which one is useful, which ended up repeating participants response without any analysis

2) Rich data → descriptions of too many details

Contradicting information from different or same participants, which lead to indefinite analysis 

3) Contradicting data → not definitive 

When there are no goals, researchers can get lost in details and report wrong information
