This article provides an overview of strategies used to support and evaluate qualitative research. Research consumers should critique qualitative research to see how the concepts of credibility, transferability, and confirmability are met in a study. Further, as qualitative research evolves and transforms the understanding of phenomena, the strategies for evaluating credibility may evolve and change, as well. Qualitative research just as personal knowing, is a dynamic process.
