Qualitative research process allows researchers to gain a holistic overview of the research’s context and capture data on the knowledge of various participants.

Qualitative research theory often equates with the methodologies used, but this is a complex relationship, plagued by lack of consensus among scholars […]
My position of Creswell’s alignment of philosophical worldviews (Creswell, 2009) is that of the notion that one cannot be another and another cannot be one. In other words, researchers should rely on a choice of which design is most suitable to their community health assessment by clearly making sense of potential data while identifying which […]
The philosophy of science can be compared and exemplified with an innovation toward the science of healthcare. This is particularly important in many science-researched articles that explore the innovation and industry competition. For example, there has been a vital historical debate about and on the role and impact of competition on healthcare innovative activities in […]
