    Do you find it hard to write a paper based on qualitative data? Do you get lost in data analyses and struggle to articulate your theoretical contribution? This talk is going to focus on the craft of writing qualitative papers. I will provide hands-on practical advice which will be structured around simple rules that I use to keep my data analyses and theorizing on track from the beginning to the end of the research process. I will discuss five simple rules in each of the following four domains: 1) The process of qualitative research, 2) creating theoretical models, 3) framing qualitative papers, and 4) writing-up qualitative research. The aim of this talk is to provide you with a set of easy-to-use tools which will help you parse through seemly muddy rivers to identify golden nuggets of theoretical insight from your data.
