E‐mail interviewing in qualitative research: A methodological discussion
Open accessAbstract
This article summarizes findings from studies that employed electronic mail (e‐mail) for conducting in‐depth interviewing. It discusses the benefits of, and the challenges associated with, using e‐mail interviewing in qualitative research. The article concludes that while a mixed mode interviewing strategy should be considered when possible, e‐mail interviewing can be in many cases a viable alternative to face‐to‐face and telephone interviewing. A list of recommendations for carrying out effective e‐mail interviews is presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
