Abstract
In this article an overview of some of the methodology associated with case studies is provided from the perspective of the person reading case study reports. Specific suggestions are advanced to allow the reader to interpret more readily the evidence reported. These suggestions are based on a combination of personal teaching experience and a review of publications where case study and other similar qualitative techniques have been addressed. It is concluded that the provision of reporting guidelines can help readers interpret case studies and, as a result, should lead to an increase in the believability of case studies.
