With peer debriefing, one person conducts the analysis, and another person reviews. Peer debriefing plays a valuable role in qualitative research, providing an avenue for researchers to increase the depth and credibility of their findings. This process invites colleagues to offer feedback and critique, which helps researchers to consider different perspectives and enhance the interpretation of their data. Peer debriefing can be particularly useful for reducing potential researcher bias and ensuring that the study's methods and conclusions remain sound and reliable.
Delve can significantly facilitate the process of peer debriefing. In the rest of this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of conducting peer debriefing using a qualitative analysis tool.

Step 1. Code and analyze your data
Code and analyze your data in Delve. Watch the video in this article to learn how.
Step 2. Share your project
Share your project with the person who will be reviewing your work. If you don't need them to edit your project or add memos, you can add them as "can view". If you do want them to add memos, make sure to give them "can edit" permissions. See how.
Step 3. Discuss your coding decisions using memos
If you have given your peer debriefer edit access, you will be able to discuss your coding decisions using memos. See how to leave a memo
