Trustworthiness in research

Trustworthiness in research refers to the quality and reliability of the study's findings. It means that the research is conducted carefully, transparently, and consistently so that others can depend on the results. Key aspects include credibility (accuracy), dependability (consistency over time), transferability (applicability to other settings), and confirmability (objectivity). When a study is trustworthy, it demonstrates diligence in methodology and honesty, allowing readers and other researchers to confidently interpret and build upon the findings.
