Definition
- Covert research is an investigative strategy in which the researcher's professional identity and academic intentions are hidden, either partially or fully, from those involved in the study. Therefore, research is conducted without the knowledge or consent of those being studied. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Qualitative Research Methods; Covert Research]
