This book presents a simplified approach for analyzing qualitative data using the thematic data analysis process advocated by Saldaña (2015). The book is specifically designed for PhD, DBA, and EdD students pursuing research in the qualitative methodology. The book includes the Data Analysis Procedures and the Results sections from my published dissertation, which first used the approach discussed in the book. Despite its theoretical orientation, the book provides practical examples of specific steps students can take using the MAXQDA software to organize, prepare, and analyze their data. The book is divided into 3 parts. Part 1 discusses ways to handle and manage your qualitative data. Part 2 discusses the four-step thematic analysis process for analyzing your qualitative data. Part 3 is a copy of the Data Analysis Procedures and the Results sections from my published dissertation, which put the book into context for doctoral students.

Qualitative interviews are a very popular data collection method for which the topics of conversation are usually determined in advance and set down in an interview guide. The focused analysis method presented in this textbook provides detailed recommendations on how to analyze interview data in a systematic and methodically controlled manner. The practical procedure for focused interview analyses using the MAXQDA software package is described in six easy-to-follow steps: 1. Prepare, organize, and explore data 2. Develop categories for your analysis 3. Code your interviews ("basic coding") 4. Develop your category system further and the second coding cycle ("fine coding") 5. Analysis options after coding 6. Write the research report and document the analysis process

How can you analyse narratives, interviews, field notes, or focus group data? Qualitative text analysis is ideal for these types of data and this textbook provides a hands-on introduction to the method and its theoretical underpinnings. It offers step-by-step instructions for implementing the three principal types of qualitative text analysis: thematic, evaluative, and type-building. Special attention is paid to how to present your results and use qualitative data analysis software packages, which are highly recommended for use in combination with qualitative text analysis since they allow for fast, reliable, and more accurate analysis. The book shows in detail how to use software, from transcribing the verbal data to presenting and visualizing the results. The book is intended for Master’s and Doctoral students across the social sciences and for all researchers concerned with the systematic analysis of texts of any kind.

Qualitative content analysis is a powerful method for analyzing large amounts of qualitative data collected through interviews or focus groups. It is frequently employed by students, but introductory textbooks on content analysis have largely focused on the quantitative version of the method. In one of the first to focus on qualitative content analysis, Margrit Schreier takes students step-by step through: - creating a coding frame - segmenting the material - trying out the coding frame - evaluating the trial coding - carrying out the main coding - what comes after qualitative content analysis - making use of software when conducting qualitative content analysis. Each part of the process is described in detail and research examples are provided to illustrate each step. Frequently asked questions are answered, the most important points are summarized, and end of chapter questions provide an opportunity to revise these points. After reading the book, students are fully equiped to conduct their own qualitative content analysis. Designed for upper level undergraduate, MA, PhD students and researchers across the social sciences, this is essential reading for all those who want to use qualitative content analysis.
