The theory was developed by Guba and Lincoln, they proposed a four criteria for judging the soundness of qualitative research and explicitly offered these as an alternative to more traditional quantitatively-oriented criteria. They felt that their four criteria better reflected the underlying assumptions involved in much qualitative research (Guba, Lincoln, 1985). These four main criteria for judging qualitative research are credibility, transferability, dependability and
