Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: Readers judge authors’ claims on the basis of ‘signaling devices’ written into manuscripts. What ‘devices’ should authors of ethnographic and other interpretive research manuscripts be including in their methods discussions? By what criteria should reviewers and other readers of these manuscripts be judging them? Such matters are usually engaged during the research design phase, but there is reason to re-engage them at the end of a research project from the perspective of the reader of the research report. Turning a reflexive eye on my own participant-observer role as a reviewer of such manuscripts, I have attempted to identify those elements of interpretive methods that are, I posit, the sine qua non of such writing. Their absence leaves me, as a reviewer, wondering about the character of the evidence presented and how trustworthy the “truth claims” of the research are; and so my hope is that this reflection might help authors of such research write better – more cogently argued – manuscripts prior to submitting them to journals. But I also hope this discussion will be useful to editors and reviewers who may not themselves possess interpretive methodological expertise and who may, therefore, not be aware that such methods follow different evaluative criteria from those deriving from quantitative-positivist methodologies.
