Digital interviews can enhance long-distance participation, save costs, and provide richer data, but technical difficulties may arise, and it can be difficult to read visual cues. It is important to strike a balance between the positive and negative aspects associated with digital interviews and to recognize that digital interviews are different from in-person interviews.
Covid-19 has changed the way research can be conducted. The present literature review, based on 29 studies (2008-2020), investigates and compiles existing research to identify possibilities and limitations of using digital interviews within social work, sociology and adjacent disciplines. The results show that digital interviews can enhance long-distance participation, and that they may be cost-effective. However, technical difficulties can arise that adversely affect the quality of the interviews. Concerning sensitive topics (e.g., victimization, health issues, sexuality), more rich data can be reached with digital options than with in-person options, but it can be difficult to read visual cues, as the camera only captures the participants' upper body. Based on these results, it is important to strike a balance between the positive and negative aspects associated with digital interviews, and to understand that digital interviews are something different than in-person interviews, with their own logic and rules.
