Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the role of creativity in qualitative research designs. Qualitative researchers are often faced with various methodological, theoretical, and ethical questions that call for creative problem solving. This creative process of adapting or even inventing new methods involves making critical and risky decisions. However, breaking from accepted practices can lead to innovative methods, promoting the constant development and evolution of qualitative research.
