Hi Ben,
Would you elaborate more on your question, please? Do you mean presenting the study findings of a qualitative research in a research paper?
The presentation of your research findings will depend on your approach. If you have a predetermined structure (e.g. using your research objectives as a structure), your structure will guide you to interrogate your data and present the findings. The other way is that you use your own data to generate the structure; data determines the structure of analysis and presentation of findings. Thematic analysis would be helpful if you choose to use the second approach. Hope this helps.
The following sources may further help, particularly:
(a) the research process (see: Saunders et al, 2009, p. 11);
(b) design and process in qualitative research (see: Flick et al, 2004, pp. 146-152);
(c) best practices in manuscript preparation (see: Chipperfield et al, 2010, p. 1976);
(d) guidelines for authors and reviewers of qualitative studies (see: Malterud, 2001, p. 485).
