What is a Field Note?
Field note
“an item in a systematic record of the measurements made by a surveyor or the observations of a researcher in the field”
-Merriam-Webster's Unabridged Dictionary
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest usage of “field notes” in writing is from 1687. In practice, people have taken field notes since the start of creation, and these types of writings assist in not only documenting behavior but also in guiding public policy.
