Abstract
The trustworthiness of qualitative research is increased by maintaining credibility and objectivity, partially through reflexivity. Blogs can facilitate reflexivity and subsequent auditing and offer an added dimension of asynchronous feedback. This case study presents an analysis of an audited reflexivity blog. Findings indicate that perspectives of auditors gave real-time insights that were not originally vetted, providing a multi-arrayed perspective to interpretation of a study data set.
