- Be clear on your research questions from the start (what, why, how, to what end, who is it for…) before data capture. Your questions help to inform your conceptual framing. (Title)
- Think about and classify how your literature speaks with/ connects to each of your research questions. (Self-management)
- Whilst transcribing and analysing data, write down what the data is telling you as you go. (Don’t wait to do this bit, no observation is too obvious!)
- Doing the above will enable you to then articulate / ‘write up’ how your data speaks to/ with each of your research questions. (Findings)
