Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Qualitative researchers recommend recording the interview to ensure accuracy in data collection and analysis. Recording the interview allows the researcher to capture all the nuances of the interviewee's responses, which can be revisited and analyzed in more depth later. It also prevents the researcher from missing any important details during the interview itself. However, it is important to obtain consent from the participant before recording and to take measures to protect their confidentiality.
