Ask whether you’ve applied your interpretive framework fairly and rigorously to your subject. If you are carrying out a causal analysis, for example, ask whether you’ve ruled out the possibility that the causal relationships you are exploring are simply correlations. If you’re conducting a text analysis, ask whether you’ve fully and fairly represented the text and whether you have considered alternative interpretations. Review how you’ve used your interpretive framework to make sure that you’ve applied it carefully and evenhandedly to your subject.
