Abstract
Qualitative researchers face unique opportunities and challenges due to the disruption of
Covid-19. Although the pandemic represents a unique opportunity to study the crisis because
of social distancing, many researchers working on research projects unrelated to the Covid-19
forced to transition from face-to-face data collection to some other form. This article aims to
reflect on our experience conducting a qualitative study based on challenges in collecting
documentary evidence and ways to overcome them in association with understanding academic
entrepreneurship (AE) in Bangladesh. We have adopted the neo-empiricist theoretical
perspective to collect this documentary evidence. Neo-empiricism allows us to look at these
documents objectively without considering creators’ inter-subjectivity. Despite this, it is
important to consider flexibility and goal orientation while collecting the documents. We found
that by applying objectivity, we can reduce several challenges. We used Lee’s (2021)
systematic process to collect documentary evidence where there are no national repositories
and identified and analysed several documents accordingly.
