Methods are highly contested issues as well.) (The variances in approaches are too numerous and complex to include here. There are debates on how much data should be coded: all of it or only identified salient parts? (The conventional wisdom suggests that novices would do well to consider every piece of data while those with more experience may rely on that experience and sift out data that may not need to be coded.) How researchers code will be determined in part by the professional domain they are working in and the validated and accepted methods that have been established. Coding involves “close reading” of the collected data in order to identify major themes, sub-themes, extracted patterning, concepts, categories, and other promising leads in the research.
One of the most important functions of a qualitative and mixed methods data analysis tool involves coding. The listing-which is not particularly comprehensive-may offer ideas for approaches to coding. 74 - 81) multiple types may be applied simultaneously.
Salda ña, in Qualitative Data Analysis (3rd Ed., 2014), describe a variety of coding types: descriptive, in vivo, process, emotion, values, evaluation, dramaturgical, holistic, provisional, hypothesis, protocol, causation, attribute, magnitude, subcoding, and simultaneous (pp. "A code in qualitative inquiry is most often a word or short phrase that symbolically assigns a summative, salient, essence-capturing, and / or evocative attribute for a portion of language-based or visual data.In qualitative data analysis, a code is a researcher-generated construct that symbolizes and thus attributes interpreted meaning to each individual datum for later purposes of pattern detection, categorization, theory building, and other analytic processes," writes Johnny Saldaña in The Coding Manual for Qualitative Researchers (2nd Ed., 2013, pp.
