Credibility can be strengthened

Credibility of research results can become more credible and trust worthy by;
  • Providing an accurate and complete description of the results.
  • Modifying your explanation of the results depending on your involvement in the research.
  • Member Checking.
  • Peer debriefing and support.
  • Accessing data which does which does not fit with your explanation.
  • Using reflexivity to identify possible bias.

    I found this information on credibility what relates to this post about credibility issues:

    The credibility issue for qualitative inquiry depends on three distinct but related inquiry elements:

    . rigorous techniques and methods for gathering high-quality data that are carefully analyzed, with attention to issues of validity, reliability, and triangulation;
    * the credibility of the researcher, which is dependent on training, experience, track record, status, and presentation of self; and
    * philosophical belief in the value of qualitative inquiry, that is, a fundamental appreciation of naturalistic inquiry, qualitative methods, inductive analysis, purposeful sampling, and holistic thinking

    I used the following web address in my research of this post :
