“Second, reports of empirical research should be transparent; that is, reporting should make explicit the logic of inquiry and activities that led from the development of the initial interest topic, problem or research question; through the definition, collection, and analysis of empirical data or evidence; the articulated outcomes of the study” (p. 33)
