This text is both about writing up qualitative research and is itself a
qualitative study. The written reflections of students on the writing
process and the interpretations and presentations of their findings
provide a base of data which the authors have, in turn, analyzed and
incorporated into their text. They have added accounts of their own
experiences, and those of their colleagues and other published authors.
All of these are woven into a theoretical framework that discusses them
in detail.
