Thematic analysis

Thematic analysis is the method researchers use Delve for most often, and the studies span every field represented here, from nursing and oncology to computer science and environmental management. They appear in clinical journals, ACM proceedings, and a long run of doctoral dissertations, and they come from universities on every continent.

Mixed methods

Mixed methods studies use Delve for the qualitative strand and set the coded findings beside their survey, scale, or trial results. Public health, education, medicine, and psychology account for most of them, and many are national or multi-site surveys where interviews or open-ended responses explain what the numbers showed.

Content analysis

Content analysis studies in Delve range from a handful of practitioner interviews to corpora of several hundred documents. Scoping and realist reviews are a distinctive use here: research teams in nursing, occupational health, and pharmacy have coded the included studies themselves in Delve rather than extracting into a spreadsheet.

Grounded theory

Grounded theory researchers use Delve to move from open coding through axial and selective coding without losing track of the excerpts behind each category. The studies here come from education, public health, human-computer interaction, and business, and include work in npj Mental Health Research, BMJ Open, and the International Journal of Human-Computer Studies alongside several dissertations.

Phenomenology

Phenomenological studies use Delve to stay close to participants’ own words while building toward a description of the experience. Most come from psychology, counseling, and health research: severe maternal morbidity, cardiac rehabilitation, parenting a child with medical complexity, help-seeking among police officers.

By field of study

Education

Education is the field with the most published Delve studies, and much of it is doctoral work: dissertations from universities across North America, Europe, and Asia, alongside journal articles in education research and instructional science journals. Higher education is the most common setting, with teacher preparation and K-12 classrooms well represented.

Medicine

Medical research in Delve is usually a two-coder study published in a clinical journal, from Cancer Medicine and Frontiers in Oncology to the Journal of Clinical and Translational Science. The studies cover patient experience, medical and surgical education, health services, and evidence reviews, and come from academic medical centers and universities on four continents.

Public health

Public health studies in Delve tend to be team efforts, often with a survey alongside. They include national programme reviews run with health ministries, multi-site studies of healthcare providers, work with international health agencies on climate and health, and scoping reviews in BMJ Open. Health services, community health, and global health are all represented.

Psychology

Psychology studies use Delve for interview-based work where the account of coding and reflexivity matters. They span clinical, counseling, and community psychology, and often form the qualitative arm of an intervention study or trial: mindfulness programs, mobile mental health apps, couples therapy, recovery from trauma.

Business & management

Business and management studies use Delve for practitioner interviews, often in a case study of one organization: a retail chain’s digital transformation, a federal tax authority, real estate agencies, CSR programs. About half are master’s or doctoral theses, from business schools in Brazil, South Africa, India, Thailand, and elsewhere.
