Small and Calarco do not defer to other methods guides when they establish their five criteria for rigor in qualitative (interview and ethnographic) research. Instead, they reverse engineer the process before deciding on cognitive empathy, heterogeneity, palpability follow-up, and self-awareness as five vital aspects of rigor in qualitative research. This is probably one of the defining contributions to qualitative methods in the 21st century. Time will tell.

An incredible book that aims to support high-quality, empirical social science research based on interviews or participant observation.
This is a book to have right on your desk if you are a social scientist that collects data from individuals, groups, organizations, etc.
Important book for researchers who collect and work with in-depth and/or semi-structured interview data, as well as participant observation data. For interview researchers who combine interviews with other types of data, including surveys and ethnographic observations, this is a must-read.
I learned quite a lot about topics:
exposure to subject(s),
cognitive empathy,
palpability,
heterogeneity ,
follow-up and
self-awareness.
Each chapter provides hands on tips with great to-the-point examples for you to use and go back to during your data collection.
This resource will definitely help me be a better researcher, and should be required reading for both qualitative and quantitative researchers.
