• Sampling in software engineering research: a critical review and guidelines (2020, background): “While non-probability samples can be representative of broader populations, the goal of non-probability sampling is often to find accessible, information-rich cases, sites, organizations or contexts from which researchers can learn about their topic of study (Patton, 2014).”
• A simple method to assess and report thematic saturation in qualitative research (2020, background): “[26], Fugard & Potts [21], Galvin [20]) ignores the fact that most qualitative research employs non-probabilistic, purposive sampling suited to the nature and objectives of qualitative inquiry [28].”
• The Perceptions of Primary School Teachers of Online Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic Period: A Case Study in Indonesia (2020, background): “The use of investigator triangulation involving all seven researchers in all stages of research with regular conferences added to dependency (Patton, 2014).”
• Exploring the critical challenges and factors influencing the E-learning system usage during COVID-19 pandemic (2020, background): “Thus, the participants in this study could help us to answer all questions related to the research questions and objectives, in order to obtain more detailed and meaningful understanding of the research problem from the main source at a particular point of time as suggested by Patton (2014).”
• Responding to policy change: New business models for renewable energy cooperatives – Barriers perceived by cooperatives’ members (2017, methodology): “After initial desk research and the analysis of roughly 100 REC websites, we used non-participant observation (Quinn Patton, 2015) in the annual general meetings of 15 RECs and subsequently conducted 38 qualitative interviews (Witzel and Reiter, 2012) of diverse stakeholders in the RECs.”
• Sampling in Qualitative Research: Insights from an Overview of the Methods Literature (2015, methodology): “One case study author, Merriam (2009), describes several of the purposeful sampling strategies previously outlined by Patton (1980, 1990, 2002, 2015).”
• Assessing the Impacts of Higher Education Institutions on Sustainable Development—An Analysis of Tools and Indicators (2018, background): “The framework serves as a valid construct for this analysis (see Reference [69]).”
• Prediction (2019, unknown): “Training the fuzzy support vector regression model.”
• A Documentary Evaluation of Offline AI Integration in Teacher-in-a-Box OER Programmes for Low-Connectivity Schools (2026, unknown): “In such cases, the quality of an intervention depends not only on whether it can generate outputs, but on whether those outputs are warranted, reviewable, and compatible with the values and capacity of the setting in which they will be used [14], [17], [25], [39].”
