The phrase "achieve transferability" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you want to express the ability to apply skills, knowledge, or experiences in different situations or settings.
Example: "The training program is designed to help participants achieve transferability of their skills to various job roles."
Alternatives: "attain applicability" or "ensure adaptability."
To achieve transferability, the initial design must take into account all factors that may diverge between locations, including existing modes of transport, the availability of required data, the technological habits of users, etc.
To achieve transferability, we drew on "descriptive adequacy" proposed by (Lincoln and Guba 1985, p. 501) to provide rich, completed, and detailed description of participant, methodology, results, and emergent theory, which has been done throughout this study.
To achieve transferability a thorough description of the context and the participants is needed.
This is not a true limitation, though, as qualitative research seeks to achieve transferability and not generalizability.
In order for this to be achieved, transferability of best practices, new ideas, and policies is essential.
Transferability was achieved by sampling as diverse a group of participants as possible.
Transferability was achieved through purposive selection of informants with different background characteristics such as sex, age, parity, profession, educational level and SES (27).
The potential for transferability is achieved by providing: … sufficient detail of the context of the fieldwork for a reader to be able to decide whether the prevailing environment is similar to another situation with which he or she is familiar and whether the findings can justifiably be applied to the other setting [ 28], p. 63].
The general inductive approach can be seen as simpler than other analysis methods but still involves a systematic analysis of raw data in order to achieve qualitative research trustworthiness described by Lincoln and Guba (1985): credibility (internal validity), transferability (external validity), dependability (reliability) and confirmability (objectivity).
Objective measures are hard to achieve in social science research, as is generalisability, thus we have incorporated triangulation techniques in our design and seek transferability of findings rather than strict generalisability.
To achieve this, proof of concept studies are being undertaken at key Chinese universities and research centres to assess the relevance and transferability of Queen's University-developed technologies.
