Zum ethnographischen Forschungsprozeß gehört nicht nur die Datensammlung und -analyse, sondern auch die Erstellung eines Forschungsberichts. Qualitativ vorgehende Forscher arbeiten nicht-standardisiert und sind daher grundsätzlich nicht im Stande, Daten und Ergebnisse zu dokumentieren.

All field-researchers who analyze their data with hermeneutic procedures are specially confronted with this problem, because this practice is explicitly projected as an undocumentable art of interpreting data. This paper designates some essential problems in writing ethnographic research-reports, debates some pretended solutions and suggests a possibility to weaken them.... view less
