I think that you should look at how other people have reported/presented their findings.
You could either look at papers (even better if they are papers from your own field), or books, or thesis.
You could find almost all(?) of the UK thesis at ethos.bl.uk
It is a very helpful site with digitised theses.
Best of luck

I would put both dates (if the article is exactly the same) with a slash between them...
e.g. emmaki 1986/2004

I've seen it being used.....

I am working FT as a special needs teacher and I am doing a PT PhD in a completely different field. Plus, I don't live in UK and my first language is not English!
When I was interviewed by my supervisors I was asked how I was going to deal with the distance and my job. We agreed that I could visit the uni every 3 months and have my meetings then. So far this has worked (I am writing up) and I didn't have any problems. The only drawback is that I don't know anybody from my department!!!!
I think that you should talk with your supervisor and see what s/he has in mind....

Good luck!

It's been a few days, but I hope that everything is fine by now...
I know what it means to have a thyroid problem. I have had hypothyroid for quite a few years, and nobody could find out what was wrong with me. And then, I had some problems with my period and my doctor suggested a few blood tests, including one for thyroid (again), only this time it was positive!!!!!!
Since then, I has been three years and many changes in my medication.... Finally, three days ago I had THE surgery and I hope that everything will be better now. You see, in my country it is a very common problem (about 20% of the population has hyper or hypo thyroid, and so doctors are kind of aware of it and its treatment...

I think it is awful when someone, especially a doctor, does not believe you! A doctor is the one who should have the best relationship with you, who has time to hear you, who cares about your issues etc. You should complain in writing!!!!

I hope you are feeling better!

I am using the 3rd person in my thesis, except in my methodology chapter, where I use "I" a lot.
I am doing a qualitative study in social sciences....

Natassia, I can really understand how you feel! I am working FT, I am in my 3rd year of a PT PhD (currently writing up), my first language is not English (extra difficulty both in reading and in writing) and I don't live in UK (although my uni is there)! Adding to all these, my supervisors want me to move to UK for 3 months (at least) in order to get familiarised with the academic community, AND (most important for me) I learned last week that I have to take a surgery as soon as possible because of some bad blood results....
I felt lost for a couple of days. I couldn't do anything but look at the wall...
Then, after some good advice from people here (thank you guys!!!!!) and after some serious thinking on my behalf, I decided to set priorities and deal with everything. So, priority 1: health! priority 2: Christmas holidays (at least 4 days off for Christmas and 3 days off for New Year). priority 3: Visit to UK (say no, because of health issues as I have to have tests almost monthly after surgery, and because of expenses for the surgery and current economic situation in my country and current personal economic situation) and then come everything else!!!!!!!
So, I think what you are feeling is normal! You have spent so much time on your dissertation and on your job (even if it is an "easy" one) that you need rest! Take a few days off for Christmas, enjoy yourself and everything will be better! You will have saved energy for when you start your PhD!!!!
Take care!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you both, for taking the time first to read my post and then to reply....
Yes, KB, my first language is not english, I am Greek (and I guess you all know the current economic climate here, hence my financial difficulties), I feel flatered with ypur comment about my english skills! :-)
Of course my health comes first, but I feel so overwhelmed by everything....
I guess I should just take a few days off and think about my going to UK (they want me there in order to be in the university, meet other people, attend lectures and seminars, work there). I know I can't do it (not only financially) because I know myself and my work patterns (like to work alone), I have so many notebooks and books that I would have to carry with me that is almost imposible to carry all of them, and I don't want to pressure myself so much (working 9-5 on the PhD will be very tiring for me and I don't think I can do it, and I don't have to do it as I don't have any deadline!)

Really sorry for that moaning post......

I'm in my third year of a PT PhD, living abroad and working FT...
I am in my writing up phase, which is stressful in its own. Adding to this some problems that I have with the language (English is not my first language), adding to that the extra time that I need in order to read (someone else whose first language is English could read much faster than me).
My supervisor has asked me to come to UK for a couple of months in order to get into the academic community. For me this means taking all of my annual leave from work, taking some extra days off (without being paid), spending so much money (in the current financial situation in my country this is extra difficult) and, at the end, losing time (I can't move all of my books and notes with me, and I can't work with other people around me sharing an office).
On top of all that, I just came back from my endocrinologist, who said that I should take an operation as soon as possible... Up to now, he was telling me that it was something that was going to happen but not immediately!


Its is the first time in these three years that I feel so stressed.... I can't do anything, I can't think anymore or what to do and what to tell my supervisor. I just sit on the couch and look at the wall in front of me

I went to the Gauguin exhibition today...
It was fantastic! Seeing all those paintings...
I am really glad I decided to go there (and miss one day at the uni), even though hadn't booked my ticket earlier!
I suggestet it!!!!!!!!!!!(up)(up)(up)(up)

Now that I read my post, I am not sure anyone can understand what I describe!!!!!

I mean, if anyone has included a picture (?) of their nodes or their tree....

Just a quick question for those of you who have used NVivo (others' opinions also welcomed)

When you wrote your methodology chapter, did you include any print screen of your coding from NVivo?
I am describing the process, but I am not sure whether I need to include print screens.

Thank you!

Yestarday I sent to my supervisors one of my theoretical chapters and I was hoping that I could rest for a week, before meeting with them.
But I was so wrong!
They just emailed me and told me to write another chapter in the week I have left!
I have the outline of the chapter, but writing a whole chapter in a week and work FT at the same time, isn't it too much?
I feel so tired but I have to work more!:-(

I am in my thrid year of a P/T PhD.
Last year I did the research (40ish interviews, as well) and the analysis.
It took me about three months to do the interviews (I am working F/T at the same time) and the rest of the year I was doing the analysis.
Now I am writing my thesis, although I am slowing down because I feel so tired because of the PhD (in another language than my first one) and because of working F/T at the same time...
