audio-visual data are among the most common
- Reusing existing qualitative data can help plan studies more
efficiently and effectively
- Qualitative coding and data analysis tools are each compatible with
different formats of data
- The Qualitative Data Repository is a source for vetted qualitative
and mixed methods data
- Taguette’s interface has two main sections, a left pane for
navigating, and a right pane for viewing
- Documents should be cleaned and anonymized, if needed, before adding
to a Taguette project
- Consistent document naming conventions make projects easier to
navigate
- Qualitative code protocols are developed based on research goals and
philosophies
- Inductive research focuses on discovering or exploring themes and
often uses open or in vivo coding
- Deductive research focuses on testing hypotheses and typically
applies a predefined coding scheme based on theory
- In Taguette, tags are labelled codes applied to highlighted excerpts
of text
- Case analysis focuses on the unique situation of each person or
group
- Theme analysis focuses on how the study population perceives or
discusses themes or ideas
- Framework matrices are a formal method to combine case and theme
analysis using a visual organizer
- Information on sentiment, degree, or quantity can also be encoded
for qualitative analysis
- Archiving and sharing qualitative data can help you, your
collaborators, and other researchers
- Taguette’s import and export options can help you share key
components of your work
- There are many resources available to continue learning about
qualitative research and finding, reusing and sharing qualitative
data
