A tape recorder would have been a better, more accurate method. Some technical information was difficult to note down accurately . Rarely did I have time to transcribe a direct quotation, so relied on my own fairly rapid paraphrasing, which risks changing the meaning. For example, the notes were not a direct transcription of what the subjects said but consisted of pertinent or interesting information. However, the reliability of jotted notes alone can be questionable. Not all the information I recorded was relevant but noting what I found informative contributed to my ability to form an overview on re-reading. I found the note-taking process itself helpful, as it ensured that I listened carefully and decoded information. I took some direct observational notes recording what I saw where this was relevant to the research questions and, as I was aiming to get a sense of the culture and working environment, I also made researcher inference notes . They consisted of jotted notes and mental triggers (personal notes that would remind me of specific things when it came to writing the notes up). The field notes were written by hand on lined paper.
