Synthetic qualitative data for research: a complete guide


FEB 2024

Synthetic qualitative data is a powerful tool in research, offering a solution when real-world data is unavailable, prohibitively expensive, or too time-consuming for analysis. 

It's artificially generated using algorithms or simulations, and is designed to reflect the complexity and characteristics of real-world data. This type of data is typically generated using Large Language Models (LLMs), without requiring complex data collection.

However, generating synthetic data requires a strong understanding of data modeling and a clear understanding of the real data and its environment. 

By following best practices, you can effectively start generating and using synthetic data within your analysis and decision-making.
