Qualitative study Analysis: Coding Schemes
What tool can be utilized for organizing data during the coding process?
Computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software (CAQDAS)
- used to organize the narratives with the labels.
- Without a computer program, researchers have to use folders for each code and place narrative information in each folder.
