In response to Dr. Donnelly's request, and her specific challenges, here's a thread with links to posts of mine to be read in a specific sequence to guide you through the process of a large literature review (I assume new topic?).

I, too, need to read not-on-computer.

@PhoebsG86

.@PhoebsG86 indicates 3 specific challenges (when you ask me for tips, THIS IS VERY HELPFUL - what exactly do you need help with? This is the very first thing I teach my students and research assistants).

1) hard to read at computer
2) how to organize notes/sources
3) returning

3)... returning meaning = saving electronic notes, documents, and coming back to them.

I have two blog posts that walk people through an entire literature review process.

1) for a new topic (to map a new field) raulpacheco.org/2018/01/mappin…

This post gives a step-by-step process.

@JacquelineMBest

.@JacquelineMBest starts with a few suggestions on how to publish qualitative research (particularly in political economy).

Her 3 questions framework is applicable to EVERYTHING and EVERYONE.

@JacquelineMBest

The first question has different elements, all of which are also general to all of us who do research. Thanks @JacquelineMBest

Where do you want to publish, where is it feasible to publish, how will you change your strategy if you get rejected, what does your institution want?

@JacquelineMBest

This is such a great approach to planning how we write and develop articles, and it is not exclusive to qualitative research by @JacquelineMBest

For me, each article is part of a larger project, and a long-term career, which fits Jacquie's points. And yes, no article is perfect

@rfagoaga

Thanks @rfagoaga @IuaeScongress for inviting me to dialogue with Dr. Carole McGranahan on "Writing Anthropology" yesterday. A reinvigorating conversation.

A few snippets from my notes:

CMcG:
- When writing, think about your audience.
- Remember, you're CREATING literature

CMcG:
- The writing of ethnography is ever evolving and changing.
- Think of writing ethnography (and anthropology) as an ethical practice - a sense of responsibility to your readers and your subjects.
- "Ethnography in the archives" approximates the in-person fieldwork.

CMcG:
- In other disciplines, you have to make a case for why ethnography matters. In anthropology, it is a given.
- Ethnography is about telling stories.
- We have different writing rhythms over the course of our career.
- Ethnography is about honoring the commitment.

REAL TALK: Whether the methods I use fit your own lifestyle is totally dependent on your individual circumstances.

I don't want to Pacheco-Vega-ify anyone (with the exception of my students and research assistants, all of whom ADAPT my approaches to best suit their needs).

I am a single queer man, who is healthy now (I experienced psoriasis-dermatitis-eczema, chronic fatigue and chronic pain for several years). I have a relatively low teaching load (0-2-1), relatively low caring load (my parents, while aging, are healthy and independent).

The way I do things includes multiple redundancies, both analog and digital. raulpacheco.org/2018/12/buildi…

I write Index Cards, Cornell Notes, annotate in my Everything Notebook, AND also I scan/take notes on articles and store them in Mendeley/Evernote.

@TomPepinsky

Not exactly the perfect response to @TomPepinsky but @miriamboeri and Rashi k. Shuckla's edited volume, “Inside Ethnography: Researchers Reflect on the Challenges of Reaching Hidden Populations” buff.ly/3nYeUrm is as close as it gets: reflective essays by ethnographers

Most authors of chapters in the Boeri and Shuckla's edited volume are ethnographers of illicit activity. Their reflective chapters share their experiences with undertaking ethnographic fieldwork and writing about illicit activities in a respectful manner. I highly recommend it.

@ucpress

You can read the introduction to this volume here content.ucpress.edu/title/97805202… (published by @ucpress).

Personally, I found it extremely illuminating - how do ethnographers deal, cope, and work with illicit activities and the inherent risks that come along doing this fieldwork?

@sladner

Dr. Sam Ladner, @sladner author of "Mixed Methods: A Short Guide to Applied Mixed Methods Research" is joining my Mixed Methods PhD seminar as the inaugural guest speaker. So grateful.

I assign her book in both my Masters and PhD courses.

@sladner

Mixing methods implies mixing philosophies, paradigms, ontologies and epistemologies - @sladner

@sladner

We come from different ontologies and epistemologies, but we can still find ways to mix them. It is not easy, though.
