This chapter outlines the process of writing up a study, sharing it with communities of interest, and positioning it within the literature. In preparing to write up the findings, one should return to the original iteration of information on the research. This may be in the form of a research proposal, grant application, or dissertation prospectus. Initially, sections from the existing document, such as the introduction to the study, literature review, and discussion of methods, can serve as a placeholder on the front end of the draft. Also, using existing documents the researcher can include a discussion of the following: research results, implications, relationship to the literature on the topic, and conclusion. In this manner, as the discussion of the research continues to be a source of public engagement, the interpretation may extend beyond the original summary.Less
