Qualitative research, which is gaining wider acceptance within higher education scholarship, may need different criteria from those applied to quantitative methods. The researchers analyzed the comments of Review of Higher Education referees who reviewed qualitative submissions to document the criteria that they applied. The analysis showed that reviewers emphasized good writing and clear articulation of all elements of the study and its execution.
