N2 - The authors have undertaken a study of the theory, practice and impact of using verbatim quotations in reporting applied social research. The research design has included a literature review, desk-based analysis of research reports, articles and books, and interviews with researchers and research users. This article describes the fourth component of the research design, a small study which investigated the views of research participants on the way in which their spoken words were presented in the research report, and the views of users of the report. The authors believe that this small scale, exploratory and innovative project has raised challenging issues in balancing interests of writer, readers and research participants.
