Algorithms as Co-Researchers: Exploring Meaning and Bias in Qualitative Research
Qualitative researchers now have access to more advanced algorithmic technologies in their toolkit compared to 70 years ago, which has revolutionized the way research data is transformed. However, having advanced tools alone does not guarantee superior research outcomes. It is crucial to acknowledge the potential biases that may arise from algorithmic processes and realize the […]
The Yellow Brick Road to Research Impact
Desirable impact in research is a complex picture. Impact, by definition, implies resultant change; we strive for the change we wish to see, but the ripple effects of that change can be manifold. As we embark on mapping out a pathway to impact through our research, a process which ought to be a forethought, there […]
