abstract:This study investigated how library and information science (LIS) scholars who used qualitative data explained and justified their methods. It analyzed research tasks mentioned in the methods sections of 151 peer-reviewed LIS studies published from 2011 to 2015 and in a survey of their authors. The study assumed that professors of LIS would express different methodological concerns and perspectives than practicing librarians would. Findings show less contrast than expected between academics and practitioners and highlight five ways in which scholars in both groups frame ideas about rigorous research practices using quantitative and qualitative paradigms. The study provides a basis for expanding conversations about methodology to increase rigor.

LIS 学者如何将定性数据中的严谨性概念化

摘要：本研究调查了使用定性数据的图书馆和信息科学 (LIS) 学者如何解释和证明他们的方法。它分析了 2011 年至 2015 年发表的 151 项经过同行评审的 LIS 研究的方法部分以及对其作者的调查中提到的研究任务。该研究假设 LIS 教授会表达与实践图书馆员不同的方法论关注点和观点。研究结果显示学者和从业者之间的对比比预期的要小，并强调了两组学者使用定量和定性范式构建关于严格研究实践的想法的五种方式。该研究为扩大有关提高严谨性的方法论的对话提供了基础。
