My abstract has been accepted for full submission for a book chapter. This will be my first submission for peer review so I am still learning as I go.
I collected data on the topic (quantitative - structured questionnaire) and would like to include this data in the book chapter as it add value (this data and some findings where included in the abstract that was accepted).
My questions are : Can I include it as a 'case study' insert into the book chapter and what is best way/structure to do so?
Thank you for your assistance
First of all, this assumes that your abstract is not only a case study. I assume that your chapter abstract takes up theorization of the topic, some sort of literature review, perhaps something about how the previous research could be improved by your views and your approaches and your methodologies ... in which case, your 'case study' becomes one section of a chapter that includes: introduction, theorization, previous research, a case study, discussion. Your 'case study' section has to be complete however - see guidelines for writing up a case study. Simply ensure that the necessary elements of such a 'complete' case study are included in the 'section' case study of your chapter. Make sure to have a couple of colleagues read your chapter before submission to give you feedback on how you balanced everything. Then go for it.
