Chua, what is your experience in using IPA, I remember people is looking for expert/teachers in IPA. Unfortunately the workshop is last year December.

this is a challenging issue even for season researchers. In the coming international QR Conference, we have specifically arrange a symposium to directly talk about this. In this conference, we will set-up an hour of expert-audience interactive platform to discuss this intricate concept. A dialogue with the following specific issues will be conducted: 1. What is saturation? 2. Are there different types of saturation? 3. How do we reach saturation? 4. What benefit can we achieve with saturation? 5. How do we build rigor in addressing saturation? 6. How do we evaluate if a published work indeed reaches sufficient saturation? Audience is encouraged to take part in the dialogue. The panels are our plenary speakers: Emeritus Prof David Silverman, Emeritus Prof Carol Grbich, Prof Dileep Kumar See you there!

while that is correct, there are subtle difference between data saturation, when no new data; thematic saturation, when no new theme, and theoretical saturation, when no new concepts contributes to theory development. the following links to an interesting study to just look at saturation point: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330302501_What_Influences_Saturation_Estimating_Sample_Sizes_in_Focus_Group_Research

Welcome! yes, we need to publish this forum a lot more. Hamidah, you can create a discussion group inviting a discussion challenges of phenomenology studies.

We will also disseminate this information to all QRAM members. Tong
