Summary:

Qualitative researchers are interested in the lived experiences and behaviours of people in the context of a specific problem or question. This guide focuses on the basic steps for utilising traditional and emerging qualitative approaches for a digital age. They can connect with participants across the globe to conduct interviews, read diaries from the past available in an archive, or observe how users' perspectives are expressed on social media. By developing an understanding of the types of data collection that can be used online, researchers can select the best approach, select Information and communication technology (ICT) tools, and align problems and methods. Once data are collected, researchers can use their everyday office software or sophisticated packages developed specifically to help researchers manage and code data for analysis.
