Summary

Even conscientious students can approach a qualitative research project for the first time by embarking on an unsystematic march through a welter of material. Also, because of the emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of qualitative research students can often think that their task is to reconcile it as being suitable to support their chosen research questions. The enormity of this task is often not appreciated by new researchers.
