- Criteria for Good Qualitative Research: A Comprehensive Review (2021, background): “Hammersley (2007) also suggests that guiding principles for qualitative research are advantageous, but methodological pluralism should not be simply acknowledged for all qualitative approaches.”
- Characteristics of Qualitative Descriptive Studies: A Systematic Review (2016, unknown): “The most frequently cited references (n1⁄4 23) were “Whatever happened to qualitative description?” (Sandelowski, 2000) and “What's in a name? Qualitative description revisited” (Sandelowski, 2010). Other references included “Qualitative description—The poor cousin of health research?” (Neergaard et”
- Some guidance on conducting and reporting qualitative studies (2017, background): “This raises questions about how to judge the quality of qualitative research and whether it is possible to have a single set of criteria that are appropriate across all qualitative approaches (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Hammersley, 2007; Reicher, 2000).”

Hammersley 2007), to see whether new distinctions are made and whether this improves our understanding of what is researched, in addition to the evaluation of how the research was conducted.”
- Validity in Qualitative Evaluation (2015, background): “In this way, the model not only combines flexibility with rigor, it also answers the call for some ‘‘common guidelines’’ (Hammersley, 2007) while at the same time respecting paradigmatic differences.”
