. Qualitative researchers will often use _________________, or using multiple research strategies, in order to support the trustworthiness of their research.

. One of the computer technologies that can assist with qualitative analysis is ________, which allows text to be converted to a digital format.

. In reporting qualitative data, a safe rule of thumb is to include at least three pieces of evidence to support each interpretation.

. Tagging is a technique employed during the axial coding phase of qualitative data analysis.
