Writing Up Qualitative Research
Writing up research findings is an important task for researchers, not only because they want do justice to their work but also because the final report will be in the public domain, to be reviewed by others. There are different outlets for the dissemination of data; each has different styles and conventions. Researchers generally submit their findings to external examiners, to supervisors, to commissioning or funding agencies, to an academic journal for peer review or to a trade (or professional) magazine or newspaper.
