Summary:

This book will provide both new and experienced researchers with a guided introduction to dealing with the methodological complexity of mixed methods and qualitative inquiry using Dedoose software. The authors use their depth of experience designing and updating Dedoose as well as their significant research experience to give the reader practical strategies for using Dedoose from a wide range of research studies, walking researchers, students and evaluators through designing a study, conducting fieldwork and reporting credible findings. In the first section, the book gives a quick overview of qualitative and mixed methods research and designing studies to work easily with available software, including Dedoose. The authors pay significant attention to data analysis in the second section, addressing the challenges of working in teams, working with just qualitative data, and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data in a mixed method study. The final section is devoted to reporting results and data visualization within Dedoose. Throughout the book, case studies are presented to illustrate the topics discussed with real research examples. Working through this book will give researchers improved technological skills to use Dedoose effectively in their research-- Publisher.
