Diarizing as an auto/educational moment for early researchers

In this paper I want to introduce some ideas to how the research diary could be an auto/educational moment for early researchers involved in a qualitative inquiry. Research diary is often conceived as a tool researchers can use to record their own experience. Furthermore, the research diary can even become a training tool especially for early researchers or PhD students. I think it could also become a reflexive journal where to write questions on how to lead a research, revealing our own prior knowledge and connecting theory with personal practice. All this could improve critical and reflective skills useful both at design time either in collecting and analysing our data. To do so it takes to locate a method and a strategy. I use this strategy in my actually doctoral research with the purpose of evaluate my theory about the reflexive diary with the practise
