Editorial: A roadmap for data analysis in qualitative research
Data analysis is the core of qualitative research. However, it is always a challenging task. Some scholars (notably inexperienced ones) believe collecting all data is necessary before analysing data. In our experience, this was never the case. Data analysis is a more interactive, iterative and accumulative process.
Analysing qualitative data
Relation between analysis and qualitative data. In much qualitative research the analytical process begins during data collection as the data already gathered are analysed and shape the ongoing data collection. This sequential analysis 1 or interim analysis 2 has the advantage of allowing the researcher to go back and refine questions, develop ...
Thematic analysis of qualitative data: AMEE Guide No. 131
Abstract. Thematic analysis is a widely used, yet often misunderstood, method of qualitative data analysis. It is a useful and accessible tool for qualitative researchers, but confusion regarding the method's philosophical underpinnings and imprecision in how it has been described have complicated its use and acceptance among researchers.
Qualitative data analysis: a practical example
The aim of this paper is to equip readers with an understanding of the principles of qualitative data analysis and offer a practical example of how analysis might be undertaken in an interview-based study. Qualitative research is a generic term that refers to a group of methods, and ways of collecting and analysing data that are interpretative or explanatory in nature and focus on meaning.
