Abstract
Data transcription is often depicted as an essential and critical stage in qualitative research. As most researchers have experienced, it requires significant time and human resource investment. We focus on transcription strategies, a topic typically missing from the methodology discourse. We explore the biases and challenges of each of the transcription strategies. By analysing 434 academic refereed papers from top journals, we underline the lack of scrutiny over the transcription process, its impact, and strategies taken to conduct it. We also interviewed some of the authors to better understand the challenges associated with transcription. This paper aims at contributing to more reflexivity on the existing strategies regarding transcription and how to increase transparency in qualitative research.
期刊介绍：
The Scandinavian Journal of Management (SJM) provides an international forum for innovative and carefully crafted research on different aspects of management. We promote dialogue and new thinking around theory and practice, based on conceptual creativity, reasoned reflexivity and contextual awareness. We have a passion for empirical inquiry. We promote constructive dialogue among researchers as well as between researchers and practitioners. We encourage new approaches to the study of management and we aim to foster new thinking around management theory and practice. We publish original empirical and theoretical material, which contributes to understanding management in private and public organizations. Full-length articles and book reviews form the core of the journal, but focused discussion-type texts (around 3.000-5.000 words), empirically or theoretically oriented, can also be considered for publication. The Scandinavian Journal of Management is open to different research approaches in terms of methodology and epistemology. We are open to different fields of management application, but narrow technical discussions relevant only to specific sub-fields will not be given priority.
