Dedoose is a prevalent CAQDAS (computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software) program, but it can be difficult to learn and use. In contrast, Delve CAQDAS offers a more user-friendly interface, better functionality, and enhanced customer support. This article compares the two popular coding software options.
Read MoreHolistic coding is a qualitative approach to data analysis that involves assigning a single code to a data unit, such as a paragraph, transcript, or entire corpus, to capture its overall meaning. This article offers an interpretation of Saldaña's work on holistic coding and a practical guide for applying it to your research.
Read MoreMagnitude coding is a coding method where researchers add an alphanumeric or symbolic code to an existing code. The magnitude code helps indicate the intensity, frequency, direction, presence, evaluative content, or absence of a characteristic within these initial codes.
Read MoreJohnny Saldaña, in his book The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers (2012), offers a concise overview of elaborative coding. We summarize his interpretation in this article.
Read MoreThis article explores the differences between interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) and thematic analysis (TA), including these philosophical differences, techniques, situational considerations, and the possible benefits of combining them.
Read MoreCollaborative thematic analysis (CTA) is a research method where a group of researchers collaboratively analyze qualitative research. This approach is similar to thematic analysis but has been adjusted to facilitate team-based analysis.
Read MoreInterpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) is a qualitative research methodology that explores how individuals make sense of their experiences.
Read MoreNVivo Cloud Collaboration is an add-on module for NVivo CAQDAS (Computer-Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis). This article explores the features, benefits, limitations, and pricing of the cloud-based collaboration research tool.
Read MoreMember checking, also called respondent validation, is a qualitative research technique where researchers and study respondents collaborate to ensure data accuracy.
Read MoreResearcher triangulation in qualitative analysis uses multiple researchers to collect and analyze data.
Read MoreThis guide introduces qualitative content analysis and covers many types of qualitative content analysis. We also provide a step-by-step guide for how to conduct qualitative content analysis.
Read MoreInductive content analysis is a flexible analytical technique to generate new theories, while deductive content analysis is a more structured method to verify or test preexisting research.
Read MoreThis article identifies, defines, and explains the various representations of thematic content analysis throughout the formative literature on qualitative research.
Read MoreClarifying the difference between thematic analysis and the common forms of qualitative content analysis—and offer researchers a rational way to match the purpose of their intended study with the appropriate method of data analysis.
Read MoreRelational content analysis is a qualitative research method that begins by counting the frequency of a concept within textual documents in order to analyze the underlying relationships between them.
Read MoreConceptual content analysis is a qualitative research method that uses word frequency to analyze the consistency or regularity of certain notions or ideas that are represented within the text.
Read MoreSummative content analysis in qualitative research involves identifying essential keywords, counting occurrences across textual sources, and then reading them over to offer a final write-up.
Read MoreConventional content analysis is an inductive approach to qualitative content analysis in which you develop codes and categories from your data instead of applying preexisting categories or theories.
Read MoreWithin qualitative content analysis, two of the prototypical methods of research are qualitative manifest content analysis and qualitative latent content analysis. This article explores both approaches in detail.
Read MoreIn qualitative analysis, bracketing is the suspension of judgment by the researcher in order to avoid their own biases from entering the study.
