- How Many Focus Groups Are Enough? Building an Evidence Base for Nonprobability Sample Sizes (2017, methodology): “Galvin (2015) reviewed and statistically analyzed—using binomial logic—54 qualitative studies and identified a similar trend.”
- Role of electronic word-of-mouth content and valence in influencing online purchase behavior (2018, background): “The results indicate that when semi-structured or unstructured interviews are conducted saturation (a point when no new concept/points are generated during further interviews) happened within first 12 interviews (Galvin 2015).”
- A simple method to assess and report thematic saturation in qualitative research (2020, methodology): “Using a meta-analytic approach, Galvin [20] reviewed and statistically analyzed—using binomial logic—54 qualitative studies.”
- ‘Define, Explain, Justify, Apply’ (DEJA): An analytic tool for guiding qualitative research sample size (2021, background): “Galvin (2015) raised the oft-asked question of how many interviews are enough in qualitative studies (Baker & Edwards, 2012; Guest et al., 2006; Hagaman & Wutich, 2017; Kindsiko & Poltimäe, 2019; Hennink et al., 2016) by analysing 54 articles from six journals to generate formulae and equations…”
- How Many Interviews Are Enough to Identify Metathemes in Multisited and Cross-cultural Research? Another Perspective on Guest, Bunce, and Johnson’s (2006) Landmark Study (2017, background): “Further, interview order may affect saturation (Galvin 2015)—that is, a study following a maximum variation recruitment approach might take longer to reach saturation than one following a homogeneous approach (Onwuegbuzie and Leech 2007).”
- Quantifying Thematic Saturation in Qualitative Data Analysis (2018, methodology): “Sample size calculations (Fugard and Potts 2015; Galvin 2015) assume statistical independence of observations, but no methods are given to verify this within a collected data set, and the effect of breaching this assumption needs further investigation.”
