It is important that the thesis makes clear what Husserlian phenomenology implies, relative to the researcher's part in data collection and data analysis. c. Several assumptions of the thesis may emanate from Husserlian phenomenology, and they should be consistent with its philosophy. d. The reader of the thesis, and publications emanating from it, may not be clear as to what Husserlian phenomenology is. An explanation is in order. e. The reader can follow the analysis better when the method is better understood. f. The philosophy that underlies qualitative research is, in essence, the study's theoretical framework. A framework should include a summary of its main points.
