phenomena that happened in his life,
and relate it to the interweaved
phenomena that have happened to
similar scientists, select the best
qualitative research design to use.

A. Narrative. Because the subject is the story of
the scientist, interweaved phenomena imply
that the scientist had similar stories with
other scientists in his or her field.
B. Phenomenology. The subject of the study is
the most important phenomenon of the
scientist.
C. Case Study. The only subject of the story is
the scientist.

conclusion on facts, and thus, allowing a
new theory to emerge from the interweaved
stories.
