Resumo: This study investigated how concern over scientific rigor have been configured in qualitative research in doctoral dissertations and master’s theses in the context of Brazilian graduate studies. An initial corpus of 425 dissertations and theses for the period 2008 and 2018 was obtained from the directory of the Brazilian Digital Library of Dissertations and Theses (BDTD) of the Brazilian Institute of Information in Science and Technology (IBICT). A sample of 244 documents was then validated from two independent analyses, with emphasis on the sections “Abstract”, “Methodology”, “Final considerations” and/or “Conclusions” and “Limitations of the study” (if any). The results indicate that concerns over rigor for 41% (n=99) of the documents are noticeable in the research report, although not always detailed. However, the discussion of research biases or strategies aimed at the results’ reliability and/or validity were not predominant characteristics in these documents. Keywords: Qualitative research. Research methodology. Rigor.

Rigor.Este estudio investigó cómo la preocupación con el rigor científico se ha configurado en la investigación cualitativa, en el contexto de posgrado brasileño en disertaciones y tesis. Fue obtenido un corpus inicial de 425 tesis y disertaciones para el período 2008 y 2018, en el acervo de la Biblioteca Digital Brasileña de Tesis y Disertaciones (BDTD) del Instituto Brasileño de Información en Ciencia y Tecnología (IBICT). De este corpus, se validó una muestra de 244 documentos a partir de dos análisis independientes, con énfasis en las secciones “Resumen”, “Metodología”, “Consideraciones finales”, y/o “Conclusiones” y “Limitaciones del estudio” (cuando había). Los resultados indican que en el informe de investigación, el 41% (n=99) de los documentos contienen preocupaciones y/o criterios explícitos sobre el rigor, aunque no siempre detallados. Sin embargo, la discusión sobre sesgos de investigación o estrategias orientadas a la confiabilidad y/o validez de los resultados no fueron características predominantes en estos documentos.

Entretanto, discussões de vieses ou de estratégias objetivando a confiabilidade e/ou validade dos resultados não foram identificadas como características predominantes nesses documentos.
