This conclusion presents some closing thoughts of the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book considers briefly some other sorts of assessment: that carried out by practitioners; that concerned with the competence of the researcher; and that dealing with the effectiveness and/or ethics of particular research strategies. One sort of assessment that is obviously important, given argument that research must have some ultimate relevance for other forms of practice, is practitioners' assessments of the value of research findings. Variation between researchers and practitioners, and among practitioner groups, occurs even more obviously in relation to the criterion of relevance. The book discusses some other aspects of the process of reading and assessing ethnographic research. It reiterates the Preface about the importance of the reading and assessment of research in the social science community.
