Credible and Trustworthy Writing from Beginning to End



November 2023 | 144 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
Finding your academic voice to tell a strong story about your research is a difficult hurdle for many qualitative writers. Qualitative Research Writing: Credible and Trustworthy Writing from Beginning to End takes you through the writing process, starting with how you think about your research and building towards presenting credible and trustworthy work.

This book provides your students with a roadmap for writing up qualitative research projects. It's a good length and level of detail for undergraduate or early-stage graduate students.

Chapters 7 and 8 are CRUCIAL for my students. I have to do a lot of explaining around writing up findings, discussion, and conclusion. I offer lots of examples, but these chapters put it all into easily digestible bites, with really good examples. I would definitely use these chapters – they are excellent.

This book is a primer on how academic research writers can effectively begin, think about, and accomplish qualitative research.

There are some helpful tips for students. For example, the tips to self-evaluate and acknowledge one's role in the research process and to start writing even if the ideas are not clear yet are things I cover with every cohort of students I teach and are useful to include in the text.

This book will really help our graduate students think about writing as a process and not as a product — something they really need to understand.

The accessibility of the language and how the text focuses on leading the student through the writing process to support them in making connections between their research questions, research purpose, and data makes this book distinct from others.

This is a great book with detailed steps of considerations and tasks needed to complete each step of the research process.

Challenging topics are addressed in a clear and easy-to-comprehend format. The tools and strategies shared are very useful and show the reader that there is no one right way of doing things in qualitative research. There are multiple options to choose from based on personal preferences and ways of doing things. The chapters provide a good framework to guide students and novice researchers through the process.

Whilst I meant to dip in and out of this book there are many chapters that I sat and read through due to their motivational and interesting viewpoints. This book is very relatable to problems that students find challenging such as how to write themes and introductions and conclusions to chapters. Many of the topics such as "joining the conversation" struck a cord with my own experiences too as a nurse and educator.
