Here, we contribute to critical discussions of the saturation concept in qualitative research by interrogating the assumptions around the practice and procedures of TA that inform these data saturation 'experim

We stopped recruitment when thematic saturation was reached for the first interview and contacted all participants after 2 months for the second interview. Participants were contacted up to five times at each interview time point, including at least three times by phone, one time by email, and ...
This paper presents a set of reflections on saturation and the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for performing Thematic Analysis (TA). The paper suggest
Data was iteratively reviewed during the data collec- tion process, and we stopped contacting new participants when we reached a point of saturation – in other words, gaining little new insights during new interviews. We considered all interviews equally when conducting the analysis, so as not ...
Interview sample size was determined based data saturation estimates in the literature and confirmed through data analysis [25]. Qualitative interview participants received a gift (either household staples or snacks) valued at approximately 200 rupees (approximately $2.50 US Dollars). An interview ...
It is important to note that RTA does not seek thematic saturation, but rather fosters the development of numerous themes that amplify and centralize the voices of participants (Braun & Clarke, Citation2021c). This approach acknowledges that the complexity of experiences in relation to school choice...
In addition, the full texts of all potential articles identified through snowballing, including those which described terms related to transferability, were checked before and after analysis to ensure that no relevant criteria for transferability were overlooked and that saturation of the identified ...
quality were: lack of description or discussion about the analyses of the qualitative data reported in primarily quantitative studies; the role of the researcher and their relationship with the participants when conducting the focus groups or interviews; and whether or not saturation of data was ...
