ABSTRACT
Capturing the research is essentially about the key processes involved in turning the research into a dissertation. If the research findings are spread around on loose sheets of paper, arranged in piles rather than filed systematically, all it takes is for the piles to get overturned or shuffled and the evidence could be irretrievably disarrayed. It is worth the extra few seconds it takes every now and then to staple related jottings and papers together, and put a title on them, so that they do not become separated. It only takes a few seconds to add the date to a piece of paper, but it could be quite impossible to remember when you did something even a few weeks later without that date. One of the biggest dangers with research is that the researcher can become so busy doing it, that he/she does not take the time to stop and make notes of what he/she has done.
