Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

The researcher transcribed the interviews verbatim. Some short excerpts were not transcribed in cases when interview questions were not being discussed. For on interview only notes are availble due to a failure in recording. The data were anonymised during archiving: names of the interviewees were removed and they are instead referred to with running numbers (e.g. interviewee 1). Information on the interviewees' jobs was left intact.
