Transcription and Qualitative Methods: Implications for Third Sector Research.
Caitlin McMullinPublished in: Voluntas : international journal of voluntary and nonprofit organizations (2021)
While there is a vast literature that considers the collection and analysis of qualitative data, there has been limited attention to audio transcription as part of this process. In this paper, I address this gap by discussing the main considerations, challenges and implications of audio transcription for qualitative research on the third sector. I present a framework for conducting audio transcription for researchers and transcribers, as well as recommendations for writing up transcription in qualitative research articles.
