This article articulates principles and practices that support methodological integrity in relation to critical qualitative research. We begin by describing 2 changes that have occurred in psychological methods over the last 15 years. (a) Building on foundational work advocating for epistemological pluralism, guidelines on how to design, review, and report qualitative and mixed methods have been advanced to support methodological integrity in keeping with a diversity of researchers' aims and approaches. (b) There has been an increased use of critical epistemological perspectives and critical methods. In light of these changes, the current article puts forward principles to support critical qualitative researchers when considering methodological rigor and when formulating rationales to support their methods in the journal article review process. Illustrating the principles with an example of critical research, the article describes common problems and issues in the research design process that can be considered in order to strengthen the returns of critical studies. Recommendations are made for editors and reviewers on how to conduct reviews of critical qualitative research, and pressing concerns for publishing critical qualitative research are detailed.

本文阐述了支持批判性定性研究方法完整性的原则和实践。我们首先描述了过去 15 年来心理学方法发生的 2 项变化。(a) 在倡导认识论多元化的基础工作上，已经提出了关于如何设计、审查和报告定性和混合方法的准则，以支持与各种研究人员的目标和方法保持一致的方法完整性。(b) 批判性认识论观点和批判性方法的使用有所增加。鉴于这些变化，本文提出了一些原则，以支持批判性定性研究人员在考虑方法严谨性时，以及在制定在期刊文章审查过程中支持其方法的理由时，支持批判性定性研究人员。本文通过一个批判性研究的例子来说明这些原则，描述了批判性研究设计过程中可能需要考虑的常见问题和问题，以加强批判性研究的回报。本文还就如何对批判性定性研究进行审查向编辑和审稿人提出了建议，并详细说明了发表批判性定性研究的紧迫问题。
