  7. “He [Goffman] felt very strongly that you could not elaborate any useful rules or procedures for doing field research” Speaking of Irving Goffman (Becker H. Symbolic Interaction, 2003;26:659-69)

  8. Craftmanship approach

  9. “Research is in large part a craft learned through personal experience of doing research and from an appreciation of what is good in other people’s research […] quality […] does not depend on unthinking adherence to rules of method […] but exposure to methodological debates can help loosen thoughts that are stuck” Seale C, The Quality of Qualitative Research 1999;London: Sage

  10. Hints and tips (in the spirit of craftsmanship) • Know the worth of your topic and where it fits in the literature • Ensure methods match questions • Look critically at what the findings contribute • Use methodological writings as thinking resources (rather than as instructions to be obeyed)
