Keeping all the interview questions in the table disrupts the flow of the Methodology section and makes it difficult for readers to understand the purpose of the study. Including only sample questions in the Methodology section will provide readers with a better understanding of the types of questions asked during the interview, while the full interview protocol can be included in an appendix for those interested in replicating the study. This approach allows for a more concise and focused Methodology section.
