Fully up-to-date, it includes new chapters, more coding techniques and an additional glossary. Clear, practical and authoritative, the book.
Describes how coding initiates qualitative data analysis
Demonstrates the writing of analytic memos
Discusses available analytic software
Suggests how best to use The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers for particular studies
In total, 32 coding methods are profiled that can be applied to a range of research genres from grounded theory to phenomenology to narrative inquiry. For each approach, Saldaña discusses the method's origins, a description of the method, practical applications and a clearly illustrated example with analytic follow-up.
A unique and invaluable reference for students, teachers and practitioners of qualitative inquiry, this book is essential reading across the social sciences. Book jacket.
