The Research Interview Workbook
35+ Templates for Protocol Design, Participant Recruitment, and Interview Execution
Most researchers think they know how to have a conversation. But a research interview is not a conversation — it is a sophisticated data collection instrument that requires precision, ethics, and a structured protocol to produce valid results.
This workbook provides the exhaustive, step-by-step infrastructure you need to move from a research question to a collection of high-quality, defensible transcripts. Every tool is designed to ensure reflexivity and mitigate bias from the first recruitment email to the final debriefing.
Perfect for: Graduate students conducting qualitative or mixed methods research • Research assistants managing fieldwork • Social scientists aiming for methodological rigor • Clinical researchers conducting patient experience interviews
