Abstract
In this contribution, we discuss criteria for the quality of qualitative research. We consider reliability and validity as specifications of the comprehensive requirement for intersubjective replicability', with which qualitative research should comply. In the data collection phase, argumentative' reliability generally must suffice; in the data analysis phase, attention must also be given to technical' reliability. Validation of qualitative research has to take place via three approaches: communicative', critical' or empirical' validation. This clarifies the relative validity or authenticity' of qualitative research.
