To do this effectively, readers should know as much as possible about the status of the original investigation to determine if it is similar to theirs. In other words, they “transfer” the results of one study to another context. If there are sufficient similarities between the two situations, readers can infer that the results of the research would be equal or similar in their own situation. In transferability, readers notice the details of the research situation and compare them to the details of an environment or situation they are familiar with. Instead, his job as a researcher is to provide evidence that it might be applicable. It is important to note that you, as a researcher, cannot prove that the findings of the research study are applicable. Transferability is established by providing readers with evidence that the findings of the research study could be applicable to other contexts, situations, epochs, and populations. Transferability in qualitative research is synonymous with generalizability, or external validity, in quantitative research.
