The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers (3rd edition)

摘要

The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers addresses an important aspect of many qualitative research traditions, the process of attaching meaningful attributes (codes) to qualitative data that allows researchers to engage in a range of analytic processes (e.g. pattern detection, categorization and theory building). It is a book intended to "supplement introductory works in the subject" and provide an extensive collection of coding methods from a range of sources for a variety of purposes. It is a book that is probably best positioned to those in somewhere in the middle of the beginner-experienced continuum of qualitative researchers, especially to those looking for examples of different ways to analyze qualitative data.
