hi everyone, you know the quotes that we put from research participants?
say we did a qualitative interview, and the participant said something like "it is better for them to be able to survive...etc" when the "them" means young babies,

so when I write it up, can I change it to "it is better for young babies to be able to survive..."
or do I put a bracket somewhere?

Thanks

Square brackets soa s not to change the sense of what was actually said rather than what may have been meant.

I think I would put 'It is better for them [young babies] to be able to survive'

square brackets

Thanks guys! Is there a difference between using () and []?
