Their scholarship situates narrative as integral to science writing and managerial communication, and to the discourse of health-care professionals. Narrative is also viewed as important in analyzing and constructing electronic sites on the World Wide Web. Finally, narrative is seen as central to research methodologies such as those defining case studies and ethnographies and to the stories that connect people within social groups and enable them to construct themselves as human beings.
